emoviolence discovered 22 months ago- From the page: "A simple spectrometer can be built from a CD and a box."

dspook rated 3 months ago- like the content, hate the pop ups

michaeld115 rated 3 months ago- A simple but clever way of viewing the emission spectrum of a light source

silvamagna rated 8 months ago- smart

thejerrod rated 10 months ago- what a great way to test your bulbs for age and spectrum! Anyone in the reef keeping hobby should be able to make use of this quick DIY

lukeg rated 13 months ago- I made one of these, though I removed the foil from the cd and used the remaining translucent disc as a diffraction grating. Works nicely. http://sirlewk.googlepages.com/t60p2

culverin2 rated 18 months ago- wow. "A simple spectrometer can be built from a CD and a box. Cut a slit on one side of the box. Place the CD on the other side with about 60 degree angle. Look down into the openning on the box. The slit should not be too wide, otherwise the spectrum lines will be blurred. It should not be too narrow either, otherwise the spectrum is too dim. I use a 0.2mm wide slit."

Diocletian9 rated 18 months ago- I'm going to try this
