** Is that a machine to find out what elements are in a sample? Like a mass or IR spectrometer? You can make those? [[user:MonkeyJam|Daniel]] | ** Is that a machine to find out what elements are in a sample? Like a mass or IR spectrometer? You can make those? [[user:MonkeyJam|Daniel]] | ||
*** Well it is usually used for chemical identification, though some decent analysis I'm sure you could do elemental analysis. This would be a visible light spectrometer, a mass spectrometer is much much more difficult and expensive to make (£100,000's). I'd like to attempt an IR spectrometer in the future but not at the moment.[[user:ciaran.mooney|Ciarán]] | *** Well it is usually used for chemical identification, though some decent analysis I'm sure you could do elemental analysis.

*** But yes you can make visible spectromerers, relatively simply. They can also be useful rather than a toy, I hope! [[user:ciaran.mooney|Ciarán]] | |||
