Spectroscope, Direct Vision (Product Code: SLE/PHY/300) is a straight-through optical instrument used to view the spectrum of a light source by looking directly at it, in school and college physics laboratories. Teachers and students use it for the rapid examination of the spectral composition of white light sources, and it gives a bright spectrum with a dispersion of approximately 11°. As practical optics lab equipment, it is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

A direct vision spectroscope lets a learner hold the instrument in line with a lamp and see its light spread into a band of colours, without setting up a prism table, collimator and telescope. In a lesson on light and colour, students can observe the continuous spectrum of a white source such as a filament lamp and discuss why white light contains every visible colour from red to violet.
Turn the end piece to narrow the slit when the source is bright and the colours look blurred, and open it a little for a dim source; the balance between brightness and sharpness is itself a useful teaching point. Never point the instrument at the Sun, and return it to its wooden case after the lesson so the optics stay clean. It suits school physics lab equipment lists in India where a quick, qualitative view of spectra is needed before students move on to measured work.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades under the name ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of the Spectroscope, Direct Vision. The instrument is produced at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and is not bought from a trader and relabelled. Schools, colleges, institutions, dealers and importers in India and international markets buy it factory-direct, and questions about replacement parts or repeat orders go straight to the manufacturer.

What does the Spectroscope, Direct Vision show?
The Spectroscope, Direct Vision shows the spectrum of a light source when you look straight through it at the source. It is intended for rapid examination of the spectral composition of white light sources and gives a bright spectrum with a dispersion of approximately 11°.
How is the slit width adjusted on the direct vision spectroscope?
The slit of the Spectroscope, Direct Vision has a variable width, set by rotating the end piece. A narrower slit gives sharper colour boundaries, while a wider slit admits more light when the source is faint.
How is the Spectroscope, Direct Vision stored?
The Spectroscope, Direct Vision comes in a wooden case, which protects the instrument during storage and when it is carried between classrooms. Keeping it in the case between lessons also keeps dust off the optics.
Can the direct vision spectroscope measure wavelengths?
No wavelength scale is listed for the Spectroscope, Direct Vision; it is described for quick visual examination of spectra. For measured angles or wavelengths a spectrometer is the usual choice, and we can advise which instrument suits your syllabus through the contact page.
Who manufactures the Spectroscope, Direct Vision?
The Spectroscope, Direct Vision is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Quotations, repeat orders and spare-part questions are handled directly by the manufacturer.
Can schools order the Spectroscope, Direct Vision in bulk or for export?
Yes. The Spectroscope, Direct Vision can be quoted in class-set quantities for schools, colleges and dealers in India and international markets. Send the quantity and delivery location through our contact page and the manufacturer will prepare the quotation.
