Operating Instructions
- Connect to power supply (Leybold 522 35) with anode D.C. voltage of 300 V, 100mA (set power supply voltage to low).
- Ultrasonic experiments: Refraction on quartz crystal create a shadow projection on a wall (3 meters away).
- Gas Excitation: Connect ring-shaped discharge tube to generator. Set frequency to the 4 to 10 MHz range. An image should appear within 15 seconds.
