BPHgravity Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 I dont know anything about "fluorescent microscopi", but I can tell you everything and anything you need to know about Fluorescent Lighting. A fluorescent lamp is actually an electronic device and functions through conduction in gas. The lamps are coated on the inside with a fluorescent chemical, usually of phosphates or magnesiums. The lamps are filled with argon gas, a small drop of mercury, and sealed with electrodes at each end. These electrodes act as cathodes or emitters of electrons within the lamp. The lamps start with a high voltage ballast or starter that first heats the electrodes to begin vaporization of the mercury. Once the electrodes heat up enough (nearly instantly), the circuit is broken and a high voltage arc is created in the mercury-vapor gas that is stabilized by the argon gas. This mercury-vapor arc produces a large amount of ultraviolet-light radiation, which casues the fluorescent chemicals coated on the tube to glow very bright. This is the basic nature of a fluorescent lighting. Is this what you are looking for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavajoEverclear Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 Is that what you were looking for? I find those words markings of a profound philosophy----- or something like that----- as if it matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
