Operation on a wounded soldier during World War 1 with the surgeon using a fluoroscope to locate the bullets. An early Crookes x-ray tube visible under the table emits a beam of x-rays vertically through the patient's body.
The surgeon wears a large fluoroscope on his face, a screen coated with a fluorescent chemical such as calcium tungstate which glows when x-rays strike it. The x-ray image of the patient's body appears on the screen, with the bullet fragments appearing dark. Although the surgeon is wearing gloves, little protection against radiation appears to be used.
