Antique X-Ray Tubes and Accessories
Dr. HAKIM’S COLLECTION
Thank you for visiting this website,
covering a wide selection of x-ray tubes and radiology antiques I have
collected over the fifty years of my career and through the few years since my
retirement.
This selection covers the long history of the x-ray tube as from the early days of 1896 when Roentgen first announced his discovery. It includes as well a certain number of accessories that accompanied this discovery and contributed, during the decades that followed, to the development of the “fine art” that Radiology has become. May I hereby express my deep
gratitude to the generous donators of many precious items in the collection,
and my thanks to all friends, colleagues and fellow collectors who have
contributed valuable information, texts or references
However, since for some items in the
collection, reliable information may be either simply unavailable, or scarce or
incomplete, any references, corrections, or additions will be deeply
appreciated.
The items described in these pages
are divided into eight categories as listed below. Please click on a category
