@mariamannone There was a professor at Colorado College, Florian Cajori, that read about the discovery of the x-ray and decided to make one himself. It was the first x-ray West of the Mississippi, 1896.

@mariamannone Oh! I was there for vacation this summer. I would have liked to have seen this but I never saw a mention of it.

Is it in the university?

@ChrisWalter I hope you can visit the city again! The museum is small but rich of interesting information and objects. It is located within the Radiology Institute, of the university hospital.
