A teltron tube is used to fire electrons. It is a type electron deflexion tube, that is it bends the path of the electrons. When fired, they usually emit a fine bluish line which can be seen more clearly in the dark.

They are usually used to teach because they show how an electron ray is effected by electric fields and by magnetic fields.

[edit] Motions in fields

Motion of particles in an electric field are parabolic, whereas they are circular in magnetic fields.

[edit] The Apparatus

The 'teltron' apparatus consists of a Teltron type electron deflexion tube, a Teltron stand, EHT power supply (0 - 5000 V DC, variable).
