>Wachs-tube (growth tube)
Not the common reading of this. However, a "growth tube" or "growing tube"
might be an implement in some specialized context. But note that such
compounds might also be formed with 'Wuchs-', perhaps even preferentially so.
Therefore, reading 'Wachs-' as "wax", as Otto pointed out, is probably better.

PS: If you search for this word and pair it with "Wachs", you will see a
long list of sites discussing Wachs-tube vs Wachstube.
