Spectrum tubes power unit
Product Code : SCL-OS-12848
The Spectrum Tubes
Power Unit by Educational Instrument is used to energize compatible gas-filled
spectrum tubes so students can observe characteristic emission lines. It
supports practical demonstrations of atomic structure, electron transitions,
visible spectra, and qualitative spectroscopy.
This unit is
intended for supervised educational use in school and college physics
laboratories. It is commonly paired with spectrum tubes, a spectroscope,
diffraction grating, or optical bench arrangement to help students compare the
emission spectra of different gases.
Key Features
Designed for
classroom spectroscopy and emission spectrum demonstrations.
Suitable for use
with compatible educational spectrum tubes.
Supports study of
atomic emission, bright line spectra, and gas discharge phenomena.
Useful for physics,
optics, and general science laboratories.
Simple operating
layout for teacher-led demonstrations.
Built for repeated
institutional laboratory use under supervision.
Electrical rating
and compatibility should be confirmed before installation.

How to Use the Spectrum Tubes Power Unit
Place the power
unit on a dry, stable laboratory bench.
Check that the
selected spectrum tube is compatible with the unit.
Insert or connect
the spectrum tube as per the product instructions.
Connect the power
unit to the correct mains supply.
Switch on the unit
only under teacher or laboratory supervisor guidance.
Observe the emitted
light through a spectroscope or diffraction grating.
Switch off the unit
before removing or changing the tube.
Safety note: Spectrum tube power units involve high
voltage. Use only under trained supervision. Do not touch contacts, terminals,
or tubes while the unit is powered.
Care & Maintenance
Store the unit in a
dry, dust-free cabinet after use.
Disconnect from
mains power before cleaning or inspection.
Do not operate with
damaged cables, cracked tubes, or loose terminals.
Use only compatible
spectrum tubes recommended for the unit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Spectrum Tubes Power Unit used for?
A Spectrum Tubes
Power Unit is used to operate gas-filled spectrum tubes so students can observe
bright line emission spectra in physics and optics experiments.
Can this unit be used in schools?
Yes. It is suitable
for school and college laboratories when used under trained teacher or
laboratory supervision.
Does the power unit include spectrum tubes?
The included
components must be confirmed before ordering. The product may be supplied as a
power unit only unless a complete spectrum tube set is specified.
What experiments can students perform with it?
Students can study
atomic emission spectra, compare spectral lines, and understand how different
gases produce characteristic colours and line patterns.
Is a spectroscope required?
A spectroscope,
diffraction grating, or similar optical viewing device is recommended to
clearly observe and compare spectral lines.
Is the unit safe to handle?
The unit should be
handled only under supervision because spectrum tube power supplies may use
high voltage. Users should not touch terminals or tubes while powered.
