Unboxing what you helped me buy!

Thanks! The spectrometer is made by Aseq Instruments from Vancouver with a custom design for Lasertack, their European distributor. I have seen Ben Krasnow from Applied Science use an LR1. If it is good enough for him, it is above and beyond for me :)

New toys are always fun! Enjoy and I look forward to the new videos with your new gadgets. I didn’t know Canada made anything else then maple syrup and hockey sticks. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Yes, there is just a seemingly endless row of opportunities with this wonderful tool. I now feel more limited by my creative thinking than my tools when it comes to photons in the 200-1200 nm range :D Awesome.

I certainly have enjoyed the initial tests. Very fast for confirming laser wavelengths compared to a diffraction grating, ruler measurement and calculations :) And useful for way more complicated stuff - really looking forward to use it.

I am looking forward to it too, since I have no idea where it will take me :) Not sure I even have fully realized yet, how useful it will be for future projects.

The spectrometer is neat! It could be interesting filming a bunch of different LEDs with wavelengths that are usually combined. I would suspect that some gadgets or machinery at some point in the production just added a RGB diode instead of a diode with a one-color light. Some mass produced light intense devices such as traffic lights would probably only have one-color lights following the colour codes. But smaller devices where a single diode might be marginal for the total cost of production and usage could still have diodes with several colours mixed where the final decision of the colour would be determined later on as part of the software implementation. It could also be interesting to do a test where a white wall was illuminated by red+green and the other with yellow where a person would not be able to see the difference (apart for those with color vision deficiency) but the spectrometer could easily distinguish the two combined wavelengths. I look forward to see what you come up with (even though the full effect could not be transmitted in a YouTube video or another ordinary digital video due to the colour subdividing meaning the two different sets of colours ("yellow" made out of red+green and a single yellow color) would end up being the same in the digital video.

Very nice. You will have lots of fun with that spectrometer

The spectrometer made me voice "oooh" at the screen, I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it!
