Spectrometer (Product Code: SLE/PHY/299) is an optical instrument used to measure angles of refraction, dispersion and diffraction for quantitative spectroscopy in college and senior school physics laboratories. Its cast collimator and telescope bodies turn over a 170 mm scale, and a spring-loaded vernier gives readings to 0.1°. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India, as core optics lab equipment for institutions.

As a prism spectrometer, it lets students find the angle of the prism and the angle of minimum deviation, and from these the refractive index and dispersive power of the glass. Fitted with a diffraction grating in the 25 x 25 mm holder, it becomes a grating spectrometer for measuring the wavelengths of spectral lines from a sodium or other spectral lamp. The 0.1° vernier reading supports genuinely quantitative results rather than simple demonstrations.
Good results start with adjustment. Focus the Ramsden eyepiece on the cross wires, set the telescope and collimator for parallel light using the spiral focusing, then level the prism table with its three screws. Keep the slit narrow but bright, lock the scale before taking a reading, and keep the instrument covered and away from dust after use. Only the tommy bar and screwdriver supplied should be used for axis adjustments.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of this spectrometer. The cast bodies are finished and assembled with their optics and scales at the company’s own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, rather than sourced from a trader, and the finished instruments go factory-direct to colleges, universities, schools, dealers and importers.
Because the manufacturer handles supply itself, requests for replacement eyepieces, prism clamps, grating holders or repeat orders can be raised with us directly. Learn more about the company on our profile page.

How precise are readings on the Spectrometer?
The Spectrometer has a 170 mm diameter scale divided 0 to 360° in 1° steps, and a spring-loaded vernier on the telescope mount reads to 0.1°. The scale rotates independently and locks with a screw during readings.
What accessories come with the Spectrometer?
The Spectrometer comes with one prism clamp for prisms up to 40 mm high, one diffraction grating holder with a 25 x 25 mm aperture, one small screwdriver, one tommy bar for axis adjustment and full instructions.
What are the telescope and collimator optics of the Spectrometer?
The Spectrometer telescope has a 170 mm focal length objective with a 21 mm aperture and a Ramsden eyepiece with cross wires. The collimator objective has a 150 mm focal length, and both use spiral focusing, with a 6 mm unilaterally adjustable slit.
What is the collimator lens aperture of the Spectrometer?
The collimator focal length of the Spectrometer is 150 mm, but its lens aperture is not confirmed in our current product details. If the aperture matters for your specification, ask us through the contact page and we will confirm it before quoting.
Who manufactures the Spectrometer?
The Spectrometer is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Quotations, spare parts and repeat orders come directly from the manufacturer rather than through a trader.
Is a calibration certificate available for the Spectrometer?
If your tender or purchase file needs a calibration or inspection document for the Spectrometer, please discuss the requirement with us through the contact page before ordering, and we will confirm what can be provided.
