Krypton is used in the fanciest, most energy-efficient
double-pane insulated windows. Krypton is also used in certain
fluorescent lamps and in a flash lamp employed in high-speed photography.
Radioactive krypton-85 is useful for detecting leaks in sealed
containers, with the escaping atoms detected by means of their
radiation.
