Raw Materials for Making a Spectrometer
This instructable teaches you how to build a low-cost spectrometer using simple materials, such as a 100 W light bulb, a light-dependent resistor, a prism or grating, and a curtain. Follow on to create your own DIY Low-Cost Spectrometer and do drop a favorite and follow this page if you enjoyed the project and decide to build your own version. I would love to see your own versions so do post your creations using the " I made it " section. Spectrometry is an analysis technique that enables the identification of material chemical composition, regardless if they are solid or liquid, using the absorption and emission of an incoherent light that hits the surface. Cut two small squares of sturdy cardboard, a bit larger than the end of your tube. Trace the end of your tube onto one of these, then draw another smaller circle a few mm. Seeking some guidance, I contacted Anglia Instruments, a UK-based supplier of spectrometers, who guided me through the.
