Crookes tube
Crookes tube. Invented by William Crookes (1832 - 1919) in the late 19th century, this apparatus was used to investigate the path taken by cathode rays. On the application of an electric current, electrons are emitted from the cathode. They cause fluorescence on the back wall. By placing a Maltese Cross in front of the cathode, Crookes showed from the resulting shadow that cathode rays travel in straight lines. Science Photo Library features Science and Medical images including photos and illustrations. © ANDREW LAMBERT PHOTOGRAPHY/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable invention known as the Crookes tube, created by the brilliant mind of William Crookes in the late 19th century. This groundbreaking apparatus was specifically designed to unravel the mysterious path taken by cathode rays. As an electric current is applied, electrons are emitted from the cathode within this intricate electrical equipment. The result is a mesmerizing display of fluorescence on the back wall, illuminating our understanding of these enigmatic rays. In his pioneering experiments, Crookes ingeniously placed a Maltese Cross in front of the cathode. The resulting shadow cast upon fluorescence revealed an astonishing revelation - cathode rays travel in straight lines! This profound discovery revolutionized our comprehension of physics and electronics. The image captures a moment frozen in time; wires intricately connect various components within this crookes tube setup. Its physical presence serves as a testament to scientific progress and innovation.
