Paton Hawksley Hand spectroscope (44959)

This transmitted light spectroscope is a simple yet precise instrument designed for observing and analyzing the spectra of various light sources. It features a tube with a precision entrance slit and a 600 lines-per-millimetre grating, allowing users to easily point it at different light sources such as the sky (to observe the solar spectrum and Fraunhofer absorption lines), flames for chemical analysis, liquids for their absorption spectra, or the bright lines from discharge tubes and lamps. The device is handheld, making it convenient for demonstrations and interactive learning experiences.

The spectroscope is particularly well-suited for educational settings, such as classrooms or public science events, where it can be used to demonstrate the principles of spectroscopy in an engaging and hands-on way. Its durable construction and robust storage box ensure that it can withstand frequent use, even by children, and provide reliable performance over many years.
