SPECTROSCOPE: Direct vision, Student

SPECTROSCOPE: Direct vision, Student

•  This Spectroscope has adjustable slit and scale.
•  Housed in a durable black plastic case. Has an eyepiece with grating attached at one end and an adjustable slit at the other.
•  Produces an excellent spectrum even at low light levels.
•  The adjustable slit allows maximum resolution with sharpest bands at predominant wavelengths.
•  The spectrum appears on the right side of the slit below a calibrated scale.
•  Size dimensions: 190 x 100 x 25 mm.
•  The scale indicates the wavelength of predominant colours seen as bright bands in the spectrum.
•  Instructions supplied.

(Wikipedia excerpt: .."...A spectrometer (/spɛkˈtrɒmɪtər/) is a scientific instrument used to separate and measure spectral components of a physical phenomenon. Spectrometer is a broad term often used to describe instruments that measure a continuous variable of a phenomenon where the spectral components are somehow mixed. In visible light a spectrometer can separate white light and measure individual narrow bands of color, called a spectrum. A mass spectrometer measures the spectrum of the masses of the atoms or molecules present in a gas. The first spectrometers were used to split light into an array of separate colors. Spectrometers were developed in early studies of physics, astronomy, and chemistry. The capability of spectroscopy to determine chemical composition drove its advancement and continues to be one of its primary uses. Spectrometers are used in astronomy to analyze the chemical composition of stars and planets, and spectrometers gather data on the origin of the universe. ....")
