X-ray images were invented in 1895, the same year in which the Lumière brothers presented their respective invention in what today is considered to be the first cinema screening. Thus, both cinema and radiography fall within the scopic regime inaugurated by modernity.

It is not by chance that physics and phantasmagoria share the term 'spectrum' in their vocabulary.
