Thomson observed that the cathode ray was unaffected by the type of gas used in the cathode-ray tube or the metal used for the electrodes. Therefore, he concluded that electrons are present in the atoms of all elements.

When current is passed through very dilute gases, invisible rays are formed in the Crookes tube, which propagate from the cathode - cathode rays. Thomson determined:
- speed of cathode rays
- the ratio of charge and mass () of cathode rays
