Since 1855, Geissler builds a vacuum pump mercury for the production of empty very driven (1 / 100 millimeters of mercury). In 1858, Plücker appeals to his dexterity for the construction series of rarefied gas pipes, which gave its name 'Geissler tubes'.  Gassiot (friend of Faraday) presents a statement in 1858 that certifies testing with vacuum tubes in the laboratories of the Royal Society.
