In nineteen-oh-six, the electron tube was considered the single most important development in electronics.

Well, we can't guarantee with UV light we'll have enough energy to eject every single electron, so that's why when we use x-rays, they're higher energy, you can pretty much be guaranteed we're going to eject all of those electrons there.

好，我们不能保证紫外光有足够的能量,激发出每一个电子，所以我们要使用，X，射线，它的能量更高，你可以非常确定,我们可以激发出其中所有的电子。

There is no way that you could irradiate a crystal of nickel with a single beam of x-rays and get that circular ring pattern if the electron beam were behaving as a particle beam only.

没有什么其他的途径,可以让镍晶体发射,单束X光来,继而得到环状图案,如果电子束,是以粒子束形式出现的。
