A great advantage of X-ray analysis as a method of chemical structure analysis is its power to show some totally unexpected and surprising structure with, at the same time, complete certainty. Dorothy Hodgkin

“Thus I was led to the now familiar hypothesis of an X-ray particle colliding with an electron and bouncing from it with reduced energy, the lost energy appearing as the recoil energy of the electron.” Arthur Compton

I first met the subject of X-ray diffraction of crystals in the pages of the book W. H. Bragg wrote for school children in 1925, Concerning the Nature of Things. Dorothy Hodgkin

We find that an X ray bulb with a platinum target gives out a sharp line spectrum of five wavelengths which the crystal separates out as if it were a diffraction grating. Henry Moseley

I should not like to leave an impression that all structural problems can be settled by X-ray analysis or that all crystal structures are easy to solve. I seem to have spent much more of my life not solving structures than solving them. Dorothy Hodgkin

I used to say the evening that I developed the first x-ray photograph I took of insulin in 1935 was the most exciting moment of my life. Dorothy Hodgkin
