Spectroscopy

Build your own spectrometer and explore the light sources of everyday life and more

Quantum phenomena can be demonstrated and illustrated particularly effectively with light and waves. The grating spectrometer we developed combines both and offers not only the technical implementation, in which the wave character of light is used for spectral splitting on the optical grating, but also the possibility to observe and quantitatively investigate quantum mechanical measurements, such as the photoluminescence of dyes. In addition to our spectrometer, you will also find practical extension modules and useful accessories for your experiments. These include adapters for fiber optic cables to observe the solar spectrum, extensions for luminescence measurements and much more. Matching our software SpecControl enables a smooth evaluation.


Our spectrometer to build yourself

USB grating spectrometer

A grating spectrometer for a 5-50 mm objective. In combination with a simple C-mount camera, as well as our SpecControl software, the observation of spectra of different light sources becomes very easy.

Extensions for the spectrometer

If you want to get even more out of our USB grating spectrometer, or even if you just have a different camera lens, you can find appropriate expansion modules here. These include:

  • Adaption of a Raspberry Pi HQ camera with a standard 16 mm lens
  • C-mount thread insert for collimation lens

Transmission and photoluminescence measurements

Our extension module can be easily attached to the spectrometer and transforms it into a complete setup for transmission and photoluminescence measurements. Using different light sources such as UV or white light LEDs, a wide variety of sample solutions can be spectroscoped and the underlying processes can be investigated.
