direct basis for these further developments, however invention of the
CRT lead to greater understanding of physics which in turn lead to
greater advance with physics.
X-Ray crystallography was extremely vital to uncover DNA.
Julius Plucker is the first person credited for noticing behaviour of cathode
rays in a magnetic field. (He wasnt fully aware of the significance at the
time.
A physicist by the name of Karl Ferdinand Braun was the first however to
utilise this observation and construct the first known model of a CRT which
is the basis for current day CRT monitors.
It was not until J.J. Thompson that cathode rays were identified as particles
with a negative charge, which further developed understanding of major
principles, concepts and ideas in physics.
