Spectrum Tube – Xenon (Straight Form, 260mm) KS5 [1424]

The Spectrum Tube – Xenon is a precision discharge tube designed for advanced physics teaching at KS5 and A‑Level. It allows students to observe the distinctive emission spectrum of xenon, making it an essential resource for lessons covering atomic structure, energy levels, and spectroscopy.

This straight‑form spectrum tube has an overall length of 260mm and includes a 50mm fine capillary section. The narrow capillary concentrates the discharge, producing bright, well‑defined spectral lines that are ideal for observation using spectroscopes and diffraction gratings.

For safe and reliable operation, the xenon spectrum tube is recommended for use with a Spectrum Tube Holder and appropriate Power Supply. This ensures correct electrical conditions and stable positioning during demonstrations and practical investigations.
