Don't have one. Imagine that, I am lacking an instrument... :S

Xenon-gas is a buffer gas in these cells, but don't know if there is any
other. The manual says that Xenon-gas can cause some stray light too.
The manual doesn't say how to observe light, but it might be in the
german version of the text. I think I have a fair idea anyway.
Cheers,
