The article reflects the ongoing cooperation of the Moravian Slovak Museum in Uherské Hradiště with Nuclear Physics Institute of the CAS in Řež by Prague. This time the analysis focused on older collection fund, to which we have only a few reports of finding circumstances. The presented text thus briefly introduces preserved foundations from Velehrad-Dolní Rákoš (depot of tiles and daggers of the type Malé Leváre), from Uherské Hradiště-Sady (graves of the Chłopice-Veselé culture), from Ostrožská Nová Ves (grave findings of Early Bronze Age from multiple places) and from Kunovice (the grave of the Early Bronze Age). These are supplemented by the results of analysis of copper artefacts. Two analytical methods were used for elemental analysis of the samples – X-Ray fluorescence analysis and neutron activation analysis. Both analytical methods were used when the current state of artefact allowed taking subsample for NAA. Unfortunately the state of historical artefacts doesn’t allow giving representative sampling for NAA. The long-term aim of the interdisciplinary cooperation between historians and natural scientists is more detailed knowledge about artefacts (metals in this case) which can lead to better specification of the historical period of artefact origins. Ideally, the hypothesis of the origin of the used raw materials can be confirmed or refuted.

A SHORT HISTORY OF X-RAYS IN POLAND

EN
The author presents a brief historical account of the use of X-rays and the production of X-ray equipment in Poland, since its discovery until the present day. Polish achievements in this field mainly relate to the use of X-rays in medicine and in research on diffraction, and to a lesser degree non-destructive research in industry or the use of X-ray fluorescence to analyse the chemical composition of substances. The paper mentions the names of key Polish scientists involved in such research. The paper also presents Polish achievements in the area of manufacturing X-ray equipment in the inter-war period (1918-1939) and after World War II. Mentioned in the paper, as well, are attempts to manufacture in Poland high-energy apparatus such as betatrons, line accelerators, and X-ray tubes. The current revival in the use of X-rays in many fields of everyday life is based, unfortunately, on ready-made applications supplied together with complete equipment from outside Poland.
