Kent Instruments

Kent Instruments’ spectrometer kit is aimed at use in high-schools and universities as an aid to teaching optics and physics. Based on an uncrossed Czerny-Turner design, our spectrometer kit contains everything you need to build a working flat-field dispersive spectrometer capable of recording up to 8 spectra per second. The spectra are sent to a PC or laptop and displayed in real time using the software provided. The software also affords control over the integration time for each spectrum and allows multiple spectra to be averaged. Each spectrum comprises 1024 data points; adjacent data points can be averaged in order to apply smoothing.
The completed spectrometer is ideal for studying the light emitted from different light sources, such as LEDs, lasers, incandescent lamps or discharge tubes, and can illustrate the fundamental differences in how electrical energy generates photon release in different sources.
