25 But remember thermal emitter is really hot! (up to 1500K) Refractory metals have high melting temperature, especially tungsten, and that is why it has been used for incandescent light bulbs ever since William D. Coolidge, invented the process for producing the ductile tungsten in 1909 that revolutionized light bulbs and X-ray tubes. His first light bulb was named Mazda Images removed due to copyright restrictions.please see:
