![]() The PK-4 prototype mounted in a vertical position. Click for a description of the components! |

![]() Dark space near the cathode and striations in the positive column |
![]() Striations reaching the anode |
![]() Discharge with contaminated gas with heavy striations |
![]() After gas refreshing: the striations are gone (or invisible?) |
![]() The discharge is 'burning' into the vacuum tube, instead of the cathode. Has to be avoided in next model. |
![]() Distortion of the (regular!) background pattern (holes) by the glass tube. Note: The right screw can be seen twice! |
