Rontgen Centennial: X-Rays Today in Natural and Life Sciences, Wurzburg, Germany, 23-27 May 1995.

To honour W.C. Rontgen and review the entire area of X-ray development in the various fields of natural, technical and life sciences, his successors at the Physikalisches Institut of the Universitat Wurzburg organized a conference, named "Rontgen Centennial".

It took place at the "Physikalisches Institut", where over 40 leading scientists were invited as representative speakers in the various subfields of X-ray activities.

They reviewed the development, gave examples and described the present status.

Most of them provided survey articles, which are gathered in this book.

Since most X-ray-related activities are somehow represented, an almost complete overview of the entire field is provided.

This book thus represents the breadth of X-ray activities and allows one to recognize the potential and quality of modern X-ray research.
