Part evacuated electron tube, filled with neon at low pressure, with tangential and axial electron gun. For determining specific charge e/m from the diameter of the filament beam in the case of tangential bombardment and a perpendicularly aligned magnetic field, and observing spiral paths of electrons in the case of axial bombardment and a co-axial magnetic field.

The electron paths are rendered visible in the form of fine luminescent beams through impact excitation of the neon atoms.
