Erste Ausgabe von Wiens bedeutender Arbeit. - In this paper are "described the experiments by which Wien determined the properties of the canal rays. The first part of the paper contains a description of observations on the cathode rays, made with a Lenard tube, in which the cathode rays passed through an aluminium window into an extension of the tube where as high a rarefaction as possible was maintained. The magnetic and electrostatic deflexions of a narrow cathode stream were observed and Wien concludes that it is proved by his investigation that the cathode rays which pass through the window carry with them strong negative charges" (Magie, Souce Book in Physics S. 597). - Stempel auf Titel.
