Does anyone here build their own spectrometer's? I have built one using a Plab kit and have done alot of modifications to it here is a pic of mine so far;

I can't really tell what's going on on your pictures....is it a visible light spectrometer ? Any results?

I built a spectrophotometer using my cell phone camera, clear led light, small diffraction grating, and a block of wood to mount it. The P-Chem teacher wanted me to test a lab he might do with future students. I never used it for much after that other than a chlorophyll absorption spectrum I was curious about, I couldn't think of anything else to do with it...what do you plan on using your spectrometer for, dhaffnersr?

Doesn't this belong to technochemistry instead of radiochemistry?

It is a raman spectrometer, and therefor has nothing to do with radiochemistry
