That's amazing. I take it that the crystals had grown on the filament
during the life of the bulb had they? Does anyone know the mechanisn for
this?
It is my understanding that those crystals grew during the
"flameout" of the filament.
I spent a solid six hours one night going over that filament. I
wish Polaroid 550PN film wasn't so damn expensive. I need to build a
digital imager for my microscope.
