Spectroscope
01
an optical instrument used for analyzing the spectrum of light, separating it into its individual wavelengths to identify and study the components of the light source
Example
Spectroscopes play a crucial role in medical diagnostics, enabling the identification of specific compounds in biological samples.
Chemists employ a spectroscope in laboratories to identify elements in a sample based on the unique patterns in their spectral lines.
The study of distant celestial objects relies on the use of space-based spectroscopes to gather data on the composition and properties of galaxies.
Astronomers use a spectroscope to analyze the light emitted by stars and galaxies, revealing information about their composition and temperature.
The design of optical filters in digital cameras and imaging devices often involves spectral analysis using a spectroscope.
