Product Overview
The RSpec Explorer spectrometer is designed for demonstrating spectral sources (such as gas tubes), and for measuring the spectra of a wide range of light sources, including LEDs, fluorescent lights, and others. It is very easy to use—simply position the spectrometer approximately one or two meters from your gas tube or other light source and connect it to a computer running the RSpec Explorer software. With the RSpec Explorer System you will be confident knowing that every student is seeing the same thing.
The RSpec Explorer System includes a spectrometer with an internal video camera, a table-top tripod, and one license for the RSpec Explorer software. The single license allows you to install the software on more than one Mac or Windows computer (e.g. multiple equipment carts, podiums, educators’ computers.) Note: Computer is not included.
The software is used by science teachers as well as professors in well-known universities and community colleges worldwide. You’ll find that the program is stable, well-designed, and easy to use. You’ll be capturing spectra within minutes after you install the software thanks to collection of professionally-produced video tutorials that walk you through the operation of the program. Experimental data can be recorded, exported to Excel, and analyzed using the the built-in library of gas spectrum lines.
The LED Tower is the perfect add-on to the RSpec Explorer system. Turn on one LED at a time, or all of the lights at once. It’s wonderful for demonstrating the properties of light and challenging your students to explain what they’re seeing. Just turn it on and point your RSpec Explorer spectrometer at it and you’re ready for an exciting classroom activity with your students.
