Measure the photoluminescence of molecules!

The grating spectrometer developed by us is equipped with an attachment with which transmission and photoluminescence measurements can be carried out easily. The spectroscopy attachment accommodates a standard cuvette measuring 46 mm x 12.5 mm x 12.5 mm....

Analyse light with our DIY USB spectrometer!

The grating spectrometer developed by us in combination with a simple C-mount camera, such as the "Rasperry Pi HQ" camera, allows you to analyse a wide variety of light sources despite the simple and inexpensive assembly. Our spectrometer achieves a res...

A telescope you can build yourself!

Our mini telescope in combination with a simple C-mount camera, such as the "Rasperry Pi HQ" camera, makes it possible to take good pictures of sunspots and moon craters. However, the telescope can also be used for terrestrial applications. Almost all components...

Explore the "barcode of the sun"!

Just by observing the rainbow, we know that the light from our sun consists of a mixture of all visible colors. With the help of our USB grating spectrometer, you can look much closer and see that the otherwise bright solar spectrum contains many darker lines -...

Suitable for our USB spectrometer

... there is now the corresponding software! It is not only suitable for reading and controlling the connected spectrometer, but also has a lot of other features for a variety of applications. Thus, the investigation of the solar spectrum or even the protoluminesc...

Build your own C-mount camera

Due to their modular design and versatility, C-mount cameras offer a wide range of possibilities, especially for technical and scientific applications. Unlike webcams or smartphones, the 'exposed' sensor can be brought directly into the image plane of an instrument wi...

A universal mount with versatile applications!

A simple but stable 2-axis mount for attaching our mini telescope, smaller cameras (for example C-mount) with UNC or M6 thread, but also webcams or smartphones. The mount fits our printable table tripod or other tripod rods (< 12 mm diameter) and can...

The time has come! The first project entry ...

... is here and with it the first, in our opinion, bug-free version of "ScopeControl". The software is suitable for reading out and controlling scientific cameras, especially in conjunction with microscopes or telescopes. ScopeControl_ is kept simpl...
