Re: [TCML] parker globe for sale

Kevin,
    Easy, two ways; Neon95% Krypton2.5% Xenon2.5%, sometimes a few ppm 
of iodine, or Neon 95%, Xenon 5% and about 2-10ppm iodine (collected 
from crystals under neon gas in a sampling tube.)  The iodine ionizes 
and releases ultraviolet wavelength photons that bump the neon emissions 
up to green wavelength, the xenon is necessary for proper streamer 
formation.

I'll have proper formulas by Mike Davis posted for a number of mixes 
within a month so anybody with the correct glass and a clean vacuum line 
can make green or yellow or whatever plasma.
