1. Safety instructions
Discharge tubes are capable of producing X-
rays at operating voltages ≥ 5kV.
• Do not operate the discharge tubes with volt-
ages in excess of 5 kV.
The discharge tube is a thin-walled glass tube. A
damaged tube may implode when evacuated.
• Do not subject the discharge tube to any
mechanical stresses and use it with care.
• Check the tube for damage before using it in
an experiment.
When the discharge tube is in operation, high
voltages may be present at the electrodes.
• Do not attempt any wiring unless the power
supply is switched off.
