Abstract:
A gas discharge electron gun for generating an electron beam by secondary emission from an active surface of a cathode which is surrounded by a cathode sleeve coaxially projecting towards an open end of a tubular anode.
Abstract:
The cell has an anode with a light-transmitting through bore, one end of which is directed towards a sample-supporting cathode, the other end being directed towards a window in an anode housing. An electrically insulating sleeve is interposed between the anode and the housing. The sleeve is slidable along the anode and surrounds the end of the anode which faces the cathode. The annular end of the sleeve can be applied against a seating surface of the sample support.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a gas and/or vapour discharge tube provided with an electrode consisting of several metal layers running parallel to one another. According to the invention the electrode consists of niferal material (nickel, iron, aluminum) which has been subjected to a given thermal treatment so that the discharge only terminates on the nickel layer.
Abstract:
A hollow cathode lamp for generating an intense small light spot representative of the gas fill within the envelope and means associated with a baffle member provided between the hollow cathode and the anode of the lamp to permit low starting voltages.
