question about photographing glass

[ConTactMe]

I took this image using a flash, and it has a glowing effect. I'm trying to
find out if it's due to the shape or due to gases in the glass. It's a cool
effect, and I'd like to be able to duplicate it, or create similar effects.
Does anyone else have experience with this?

Thanks

Provide a link to a web site with the photo. Don't try to post it on a
text only newsgroup, the newsgroup servers will strip it off. Actually,
if the glass is glowing, it is probably a uranium glass, well known for
glowing in UV light, which your strobe may be.

Sorry. I meant to post the image link earlier:

You can see several images of this thingy at the root:

Truth is, I'm not familiar with these items, but it looked cool to
photograph. I do hope to find out some more about it and maybe even see if
it still works.

Thanks for the assistance.

I think what you are seeing is light reflecting off the contents of the
tube and refracting through the curved surface of the glass, then showing up
on your backdrop.

From the link Finn posted, I would guess it came out of an X-ray machine.

WOW -- I guess not!
" This tube will generate x-rays with anode voltages above 15kV.
Adequate external shielding against this radiation is the responsibility of the
user. "

Cool! Wonder if I can use it to see through stuff (no, not serious). Guess I
will have some fun with this.

Thanks for the info, all.
