I bought a super cheap optical spectrometer and now I am going to review it.
I have chosen to tell the story of this spetrometer from the perspective of the light sources that I used to test it. Some of these are simply beautiful peices of optical technology.
I used the Theremino (v3.1) software thoughout this video, the link to this is below:

Spectragryph, the more advanced software for spetroscopy, can be found here:
