A spectrometer is an instrument that is often employed to examine, identify, and precisely gauge electromagnetic radiation emanating from a substance. This aids in identifying the elemental ...

In this way, it's possible to assess the spectrometer's performance in just a few seconds. The team also showed that they could use a similar approach to cross-calibrate two different spectrometers.

When we taught a class of first year chem/biochem majors about spectroscopy, we introduced them to it with a task. It was to dig through bins full of the things shown below (many of them 3D-printed ...
