Geissler tubes feature prominently in my book The Three Locks, a Sherlock Holmes Adventure published by HarperCollins. As a celebration, my scientist husband gave me a Geissler tube for my birthday that it up red. Fabulous!

Once again, very enlightening 💡

It is also a reminder that everybody can contribute to the advancement of technology, even if they did not study in science or engineering.
