19th Century Crookes Tubes
19th Century Crookes Tubes. Invented by William Crookes (1832-1919) in the late 19th century this apparatus was used to investigate the path taken by electrons, or cathode rays as they were known. The electrons are emitted from a central element towards the glass. As the electrons collide with the glass they fluoresce. This apparatus was able to show that electrons travel in straight lines. The overall glow of the apparatus is caused by the excitation of the remaining gas molecules in the tube.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a set of 19th Century Crookes Tubes, an ingenious invention by the brilliant mind of William Crookes (1832-1919). Developed during the late 1800s, these remarkable devices were instrumental in unraveling the mysteries surrounding electron behavior. The tubes allowed scientists to observe and study the path taken by electrons, also known as cathode rays at that time. In this image, we witness a single tube placed against a pristine white background. Its glass structure emits a mesmerizing glow as electrons are emitted from a central element towards it. As these charged particles collide with the glass surface, they fluoresce brilliantly, providing visual evidence that electrons travel in straight lines. The historical significance of this apparatus cannot be overstated. It revolutionized our understanding of electricity and technology during its time. This instrument served as both a demonstration tool and an essential piece of equipment for scientific investigations into electrical phenomena. Captured here is not just an object frozen in time but rather a representation of human curiosity and ingenuity reaching new heights. It symbolizes how pioneers like William Crookes pushed boundaries to expand our knowledge about physics and pave the way for future breakthroughs. This stunning still life photograph offers us glimpses into the rich history of science while showcasing the elegance and intricacy behind this technological marvel from over a century ago.
