How Glow-In-The-Dark Tritium Gas Tubes Are Made At MB-Microtec
Seeing how tritium gas tubes are made will surely remain among?the coolest experiences I have had on?these horology-related manufacture visits.?Tritium gas tubes are these extremely tiny (about 0.5mm?thick and at least 1.3mm long) glass tubes that are filled with (mildly) radioactive tritium gas �C although, as we will see, there is a lot more to them than that. What these tubes do is that?they are guaranteed to glow brightly and continuously for at least 10 years, without having to be charged by external light (like the luminescent material used on other watches),?or needing to be activated with electricity or otherwise. These little tubes just glow, unstoppably, for up to 20?years, no matter what.The company that is manufacturing these tubes is called MB-Microtec, situated near?Bern, Switzerland.?They are?the only company on the market today that is capable?of manufacturing these?barely visible glass tubes and filling them with tritium, thanks to their special know-how for working wit
