TL;DR Summary
ID of gases in Geissler tubes from 1964-1965.
I've been searching for a way to ID the gases in a set of old (1964-1965), unlabeled Geissler tubes at our school. We have no good way of trying to light them anymore. They are in the original, numbered cardboard tubes but have no other identifiers. It seems like we should be able to match the shapes to a gas but I haven't had luck finding a key for that. They do contain uranium glass. Can anyone help us out?

Welcome to PF.

Can you upload a few pictures of these tubes? Use the "Attach files" link below the Edit window to upload PDF or JPEG files. Thanks.

Once we have the pictures and any other info, we can page @dlgoff :smile:

If you could light them, you could look at their spectra. If you can't light them, what do you want to use them for?
