William Crookes first discovered the x-ray effect, but he didn't investigate it. Tesla investigated the effect, but it was Röntgen who named them X and realized what was really happening.
He didn't. Tesla did not invent the X-Ray. Wilhelm Röntgen did.Tesla is often reported as the inventor or discoverer. He did neither.X-rays even by electronic means were well known to fog film by the time Tesla reported his discoveries. He made some observations - which have been widely touted by the press but his work with them was actually pretty limited.X-rays, were observed by both Johann Hittorf and William Crookes in the 1870s with Crookes tubes. The effects of them wouldn't be understood to the uses we have for them today until Rontgen's work in 1889.
