Abstract
WHILST repeating the now well-known experiments of Barkla, Laue, and others we have accidentally met with some remarkable effects upon which we should like to invite judgment. By inadvertence the edge of a piece of mica intercepted a direct beam of X-rays, and the recording photographic plate shows pronounced black and white bands along the X-ray shadow of the edge of mica. Further experiments with mica, glass, and metals also gave the effect, the edge of the shadow being bounded by a well-defined black band in the dark portion of the field with a light band in the lighter half.
