Spectrometer

Overview

A spectrometer (spectrophotometer, spectrograph or spectroscope) is an instrument used to measure properties of light over a specific portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, typically used in spectroscopic analysis to identify materials.

Details

A spectrometer is needed for RepLab. Several open-source groups are already working on building them -
