The Spectrum Tube System is a safe, modular apparatus designed for observing atomic emission spectra using durable gas discharge tubes and an enclosed, interlocked power supply.
The Spectrum Tube System is designed for classroom demonstrations and laboratory investigations of atomic emission spectra. The system consists of a dedicated power supply and interchangeable gas spectrum tubes, allowing students to observe characteristic emission lines produced by excited atoms. For safety, all electrodes are fully enclosed, eliminating exposure to high voltage during operation, and a magnetic interlock prevents current flow unless a tube is correctly installed. All electrical components are housed within the power supply, and spectrum tubes are protected by a hard polymer outer shell that helps guard against accidental breakage during handling. The power supply accommodates one tube at a time and includes a built-in storage rack capable of holding up to six additional tubes. The adjustable tube height allows instructors to position the light-emitting region for optimal viewing with spectroscopes or spectrometers. Designed specifically for instructional use, the Spectrum Tube System provides a reliable, durable, and classroom-safe way to study emission spectra of common gases.
