Spectroscope. Spectrometer is the machine to give the readings.

Spectroscope can be made using

  • Diffraction grating; eg. CD or DVD disk, or
    • Natural gratings: Striated muscle, peacock feathers, mother-of-pearl, and butterfly wings. Some invertebrate animals, like the peacock spiders, the antennae of seed shrimp, and Burgess Shale fossils
    • Iridescence in birds, fish and insects is often caused by thin-film interference
  • Prism
