Definitely a diffraction grating

Pros:

Easy To Use, Effective Demonstration, Fun, Interactive, Promotes Learning

Best Uses:

School, Students, Teachers

Describe Yourself:

Education Oriented

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I've used these in the classroom, and they are what they are described as, and work well. Realize, however, that they are the same size as 35mm camera slides - quite small.

Holographic Diffraction Grating

By Chemistry teacher

from Ann Arbor, MI on 3/3/2008

Pros:

Clear and clean slides, Easy To Use, Effective Demonstration, Fun, Interactive, Promotes Learning

Best Uses:

School, Spectroscopy lab, Students, Teachers

Describe Yourself:

Educator

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I numbered the slides by group to make sure that I got them all back. The students walked around the room and observed the spectra that different light sources emitted. The students held the slides by their frames and this kept the slides clean. The results were bright and easy to observe.

Digital Photography of Spectra

By Dave Downunder

from Canberra, ACT, Australia on 2/26/2008

Pros:

Easy To Use, Effective Demonstration, Fun, Interactive, Promotes Learning

Best Uses:

Home, School, Students, Teachers

Describe Yourself:

Curious about Nature, Digital Photographer

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Over a window cut in the side of a small cardboard box, I stuck the Grating Slide.
Over a window cut in the opposite side of the box I stuck two pieces of foil to create a narrow slit. When the slit was pointed at a light source two orders of spectra were easily visible through the grating. Using the macro facility on my digital camera I was able to photograph the spectra. The grating can also show the spectra of night objects, for example mercury vapour street lamps, the moon, and stars. I plan to examine star spectra once I have arranged for a steady exposure of about 10 to 15 seconds. I am also interested in discovering the unique spectra of coated sunglasses, led lighting, and flame ionisation.

Excellent grating for the price. The glass sides protect the grating from fingerprints and other contamination. This is the best “toy” diffraction grating I have ever used.

What will it do? How do I use it?

I think it's a high-quality grating, but need more info. on how to make best use of it.
