Summary
| Description |
English: Color drawing of Geissler tubes lit by their own light, from an 1869 French natural philosophy book, showing some of the many fanciful shapes and colors. They were powered by high voltage from an induction coil. Invented by German glassblower Heinrich Geissler in 1857, Geissler tubes were the first gas discharge tubes and were manufactured for entertainment. Around 1910 they evolved into the first neon lights. Caption: "Electric discharge in rarefied gasses: 1.Discharge in Vapor of Alcohol.
