Frederick M. H. Wilkins

Frederick M. H. Wilkins was a pioneering British physicist who developed the first practical X-ray microscope in the early 20th century. His work allowed scientists to see beyond the limits of traditional microscopy, using X-rays to examine the internal structure of objects at a microscopic level. Wilkins’ innovations significantly advanced scientific imaging, impacting fields such as biology and materials science. His contributions helped lay the groundwork for imaging techniques that are now fundamental in medical diagnostics and research.
