- Make your own
spectroscope! What is a spectroscope you ask? It's an optical device that
breaks light into a spectrum. Spectroscopes have many uses: scientists use
spectroscopes to study the chemical composition of stars, metallurgists use
spectroscopes to determine the composition of mineral specimens, and chemists
use spectroscopes to determine the constituents of chemical compounds. Our
spectroscope kit is made of thick, silver-colored cover stock and comes with a
pre-cut slit and a pre-mounted diffraction grating embossed with 23,000 lines
per inch. To assemble the spectroscope, simply cut it out, fold it up, glue it
together and you're ready to observe the visible spectrum. It can also be held
together with rubber bands (supplied). When completed, your spectroscope
becomes a triangular tube measuring 7-1/4" long and 1-1/2" on a
side.

including Fraunhofer lines in the solar spectrum. The kit comes with an
instruction sheet detailing several simple investigations you can make using
light sources in your environment. Educational, useful and a great stimulus for
expanding your knowledge.
