Spectroscope (for high school) Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Spectroscope (for high school) (Product Code: SCL255/042) is a prism spectroscope that splits light into its component colours so students can study continuous and line spectra. Light enters through a slit in the collimator tube, is dispersed by a three-edged prism on a table, and is viewed through a telescope with a moving eyepiece, while a micrometer screw allows fine adjustment. As a prism spectrometer for India’s school and junior college optics labs, it is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.

Specifications

Typical Use

Point the collimator at an ordinary filament lamp first: the class sees an unbroken band from red to violet, the continuous spectrum of a hot solid. Swap the lamp for a sodium lamp or a glowing gas discharge tube and the band is replaced by a few sharp bright lines, each one a fingerprint of the element. Comparing these patterns is how students meet the idea that atoms emit only particular wavelengths.

To set up, focus the telescope on a distant object, narrow the slit until lines look sharp, then turn the prism table until the spectrum appears and settle it at the position of least deviation. The micrometer screw helps line up the eyepiece on individual lines when recording their positions. Keep the prism faces free of fingerprints and cover the instrument when not in use; it is a lasting part of the optics lab equipment in any school.

Manufacturer

ScienceLab spectroscopes come from Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, a manufacturer of teaching apparatus in Ambala, Haryana, which supplies optics instruments to schools and colleges in India and international markets. Our company profile gives further background.

Frequently Asked Questions

What parts make up the spectroscope?
A table with a three-edged prism, a collimator tube with a lens and a slit, a telescope with a lens and a moving eyepiece, a micrometer screw, and a stand for mounting it on a support.

Is a light source included?
No lamp is listed with the spectroscope. Sodium lamps and gas spectral tubes are available separately; ask us to quote them together.

What can students observe with it?
Continuous spectra from incandescent lamps and line spectra from sodium lamps or gas discharge tubes, which is the basis for lessons on atomic emission.

Does it have an angle scale for measurements?
A graduated circle is not listed for this model. If you need angle readings for refractive index work, contact us so we can suggest a suitable instrument.

How should the optics be cleaned?
Blow off dust first, then wipe lenses and prism faces gently with lens tissue. Avoid solvents and never touch the prism faces with bare fingers.

Can you supply a full optics lab?
Yes. Send the code SCL255/042 and your list of items, quantities and delivery location; we quote for India and international markets.
