That white color is there because the surface of the glass in z566m stem is matte, it is not uniform - because the glass was casted into form.. This makes the color seems to be white..

They are approximately torus-shaped (donut / bagel) except that the top and bottoms are flat instead of curved, and the sides are vertical. They are inserted in a formed metal base and leads are inserted, and then the whole assembly goes through the hydrogen furnace to fuse the glass to the metal pieces. In this picture (not mine, just one I found with Google image search) the beads are the two dark rings around the wire leads. That is the simplest form of bead - some have provisions for multple wire leads and may be other than round. http://tp01.com/estore/images/4%20MHz%20quartz%20crystal.jpg -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
