Hi there,

Does anyone use digital spectroscopes, if so where did you source them from please.

I have just watched it online. I could not believe what I was seeing. I'm left shaking my head.

Hi there,

I just went onto SSAPL website and did a search, they have a beam splitter kit for $125.00.

I use an A3 paper box with a piece of foam purchased from clark rubber. Slits are cut in the foam in rows and slot the lenses in. The inside wall of the box is labeled so they are put away in order. Having the lenses tagged with permanent marker would be great.

I've been getting our demineralised water from Big W 4Lt for around $3. They are generally pretty well stocked areound here.

I found this site that may beof use to you. http://cals.arizona.edu/pubs/natresources/az1144.pdf

If your office uses avery labels then you could custom your own using the label tool in word.

I have an idea that could work. Your maintenance man or a parent that is a carpenter or builder etc may be able to make it for you by using the original as a template.
A thought for you.
Kind regards,
