Unlock the Secrets of Light with Our Handheld Spectroscope
Ever wondered how scientists determine the composition of distant stars and suns? The answer lies in spectroscopy, and now you can explore it hands-on with our handheld spectroscope.
How it Works
Made from optical glass, this spectroscope features a composite prism and converging lens within a vertical tube. Simply hold the tube with the slit facing the light source, and observe the dispersion spectrum directly.
- Analyse various light sources, including fluorescent lights and reflected sunlight (using a mirror for safe viewing)
- Observe the line spectra of mercury against a continuous spectrum background
Perfect for Education and Enthusiasts
This high-resolution, economical spectroscope is ideal for:
- Student labs and science fair projects
- Hobbyists and amateur scientists
- Curriculum-aligned learning in physics and spectroscopy
| Key Features | Benefits |
|---|---|
| Compact and portable | Easy to use in various settings |
| High-resolution spectroscopy | Accurate analysis of light spectra |
Safety Note: When observing sunlight, always use a mirror to reflect the light, avoiding direct exposure to the sun.
