I've had a small Science First 50 Kv Tesla coil for quite some time.  This
unit is absolutely tiny compared to what I've seen people talk about here.
Today, at an antique shop, I saw an old antique Edison light bulb.  I
brought it home and placed it on top of the energized Tesla coil.  To my
surprise, the inside of the bulb glowed a brilliant green and I decided to
try and see if I could take an x-ray of something fairly easy.  The results
are here:

I must say I was sure surprised to get anything at all.
