Available Devices

Two spectroscopy devices are available:

a low resolution prism spectroscope

From technical perspective and looking at the straigt setup it looks like to be a spectroscope using a Amici prism which is essentially a combination of 3 prism. Two of them - the first and the last has a medium dispersion like Crown glas and the prism in the middle has a high dispersion like Flint glas
