[3dem] glow discharge "fireball"

[Reinhard Rachel]

Just a remark: 

I have never seen this happening. 
I always use a Harrick Plasma cleaner (just as a satisfied customer since > 30 years who does not want to spend too much money).
Setting LOW, for about 20(-45) sec. 
I always use a clean glass slide on which the grids lie on. Always. 
I always use "atmosphere" (= N2 / O2 + residuals) at little below  0.1 mbar. 
just my 2 cents. 
Kind regards,
Reinhard
