She nodded. Pale, tense, but calm. "Yes, Gregg. And I was thinking " "It won't take a minute. Have your helmet ready." "I was thinking " She hurried across the room. I swung on the Botz signaling apparatus. It was connected. Within a moment I had it humming. The fluorescent tubes lighted with their lurid glare; they painted purple the body of the giant duty man who lay sprawled at my feet.
Looked at from without, the crystalline lens at the same time is seen to gleam vividly. Long before its physical origin was understood this fluorescent light attracted attention. Boyle describes it with great fulness and exactness.
It drew attention to the fluorescence of minerals placed in the cathode tube; this inspired Becquerel to inquire whether naturally fluorescent substances gave off anything like X-rays, and eventually yet again by accident he came upon certain uranium compounds. These were found to give off a radiation similar to X-rays, and to give it off naturally and all the time.
It could be the stone of the tower some of these heavy rocks have got a high natural count. There maybe could be a box of instruments there with fluorescent dials. Or it might be one of those tactical atom bombs they threw at us already. Some arms runner sold them a few." "Or it could be the cobalt bombs?" "It could be," Telt said, packing his instruments swiftly.
Doubtless it is not necessary to recall here how, in December 1895, Röntgen, having wrapped in black paper a Crookes tube in action, observed that a fluorescent platinocyanide of barium screen placed in the neighbourhood, had become visible in the dark, and that a photographic plate had received an impress.
Not so in a moving picture. For instance, here I have a picture which will show you a living body in all its moving details." On the screen before us was projected a huge shadowgraph of a chest and abdomen. We could see the vertebrae of the spinal column, the ribs, and the various organs. "It is difficult to get a series of photographs directly from a fluorescent screen," Kennedy went on.
He couldn't wait for that... Under fluorescent lights, he was threading wire through miniature grommets, hurrying to complete the full-size ionic drive. He said, "Hi, Frank," and let his eyes drop, again, into absorption in his labors. Mad little guy. Tragic, sort of. A cripple... "I'll shove off, Paul," Nelsen was saying in a moment.
All at once a light burst forth, seemingly not a hundred yards above our heads, that lit up that trail like a search-light and threw our shadows black upon the snow. There was nothing faint and fluorescent about that aurora; it burned and gleamed like magnesium wire.
The parade was on, the Croopsters in full swing, already mostly drunk. The main body went down the street, waving fluorescent signs, while side-guards preceded them, armed with axes, knocking aside the flimsier barricades as they went. He watched a group break into a small grocery store to come out with bundles.
The rhythmic exhalations ceased instanteously, and the tallest and most fluorescent of the Wenuses, laying aside her Red Weed, replied in a low voice thrilling with kinetic emotion: "Phreata mou sas agapo!"
