Spectroscopy seems simple: split a beam of light into its constituent wavelengths with a prism or diffraction grating, and measure the intensity of each wavelength. The devil is in the details, though ...

When we taught a class of first year chem/biochem majors about spectroscopy, we introduced them to it with a task. It was to dig through bins full of the things shown below (many of them 3D-printed ...

Play around with optics long enough and sooner or later you’re probably going to want a spectrometer. Optical instruments are famously expensive, though, at least for high-quality units. But a useful ...
