Product Specification Sheet
Spectrum Tubes (MT-0473 Series)
Model Number: MT-0473
The Spectrum Tubes (MT-0473 Series) are precision gas discharge tubes designed for spectroscopy experiments and optical demonstrations. Manufactured by Micro Technologies, these tubes produce distinct emission spectra when energized, making them ideal for physics laboratories, educational institutions, research facilities, and spectroscopy training applications.
Product Specification
The Spectrum Tubes (MT-0473 Series) are specially manufactured for demonstrating the characteristic emission spectra of various gases during spectroscopy experiments. Manufactured by Micro Technologies, these discharge tubes provide bright and well-defined spectral lines that assist students, researchers, and laboratory professionals in understanding atomic emission and gas excitation principles.
Each tube consists of a straight glass body with a fine capillary section positioned at the center. The capillary concentrates the electrical discharge, producing an intense and clearly visible spectrum suitable for observation through spectroscopes and spectrometers.
The tubes are approximately 20 cm in length and are filled with carefully selected high-purity gases under controlled pressure to ensure consistent spectral performance and long service life. Their robust construction allows repeated use in educational and research laboratories.
For extended operating life, the tubes are recommended to be operated in 30-second ON and 30-second OFF cycles, minimizing heat generation and preserving gas stability during prolonged demonstrations.
The MT-0473 Series is widely used in physics laboratories, colleges, universities, optical laboratories, spectroscopy research, educational demonstrations, and scientific training programs for studying atomic spectra, wavelength identification, and gas emission characteristics.
Manufactured by Micro Technologies, every Spectrum Tube undergoes strict quality inspection to ensure accurate spectral output, reliable electrical performance, and long operational life.
