Experiment Topics:_..

The following topics can be discussed with this highly evacuated tube:
• Luminescence of different phosphors when excited by electrons (cathodoluminescence)
• Luminescence of different phosphors when excited by ultraviolet light (photoluminescence).
• Phosphorescence and quenching

Product Information:_..

The luminescence tube is a highly evacuated tube with an electron gun consisting of a pure tungsten heater filament inside an apertured “cathode can” and a cylindrical anode contained in a clear glass bulb. A screen with three mica flags with different phosphors is mounted on a metal support.
The luminescence tube serves to demonstrate the luminescence of different phosphors when excited by electrons (cathodoluminescence) or ultraviolet light (photoluminescence).
