Any good anagrams for geissler tubes?

Sealed tubes of glass containing highly rarefied gases, and provided with platinum electrodes extending through the glass tightly sealed as they pass through it, and often extending a short distance beyond its interior surface.

On passing through them the static discharge luminous effects are produced varying with the degree of exhaustion, the contents (gas), the glass itself, or solutions surrounding it. The two latter conditions involve fluorescence phenomena often of a very beautiful description.

The pressure of the gas is less than one-half of a millimeter of mercury. If a complete vacuum is produced the discharge will not pass. If too high rarefaction is produced radiant matter phenomena (see Radiant State) occur.

Geissler tubes have been used for lighting purposes as in mines, or for illuminating the interior cavities of the body in surgical or medical operations.
