THELIUM
Thulium is a chemical element with the
symbol Tm and atomic number 69. It is
the thirteenth and third-last element in
the lanthanide series.

Thulium was first isolated in 1879 as

its oxide by Per Teodor Cleve at the
University of Uppsala, Sweden. The
discoveries of the many rare earth
elements (aka lanthanoid) began with
yttrium in 1794.

Thallium uses today commonly include the production of

electronic devices, fiber optics, camera lenses, switches,
and closures. Thallium metal is used most notably by the
semiconductor, fiber optic, and the glass lens industries.
