<Hugo Atterling>'s scientific memoir of <Manne Siegbahn> explains how apparatus and source composition shaped early <X-ray spectroscopy>. One example traces two unexpected lines in a 1914 <spectrum> to a <silver> layer beneath a <platinum> coating, observed in first and second <diffraction orders>. The account connects identification of a <chemical element> with the interpretation of the instrument, rather than treating each observed line as a new property of the nominal target. His memoir also documents the development of precision and vacuum spectrometers.<Manne Siegbahn, His Research by Hugo Atterling>[Early work on X-ray spectroscopy; development of precision spectroscopy; authored memoir published 1991]{ref}
