The idea behind our construction kit

For our e9u-LSMD-TCD1304-STD line scan camera, we have developed a construction kit to encourage you to replicate and experiment on your own. For this we use a combination of aluminum profiles and 3D printed parts. Inexpensive, but sufficiently stable replicas are possible and the optical components, built into individual modules, can still be finely aligned and adjusted to one another. An example of this is the Czerny-Turner spectrometer pictured here.

The modules that we use in our application examples are presented on their own overview page. You can recreate them yourself, but Eureca also offers these modules for complete purchase.

For those who own a 3D printer and want to print by themselves, we introduce the 3D printed parts and the necessary files.

Detailed application examples

• Czerny-Turner spectrometer
• Neon lamps
• Fraunhofer lines in the solar spectrum

Czerny-Turner Spectrometer

Aided by the Eureca line scan camera e9u-LSMD-TCD1304-STD it is possible to take even demanding measurements with high spectral resolution at relatively low prices in school or internships. Here we show the Czerny-Turner spectroscope as an application example.

Spectroscopy on neon lamps

Neon lamps are still used in many electronic devices today as signal lamps to indicate the operating status, although these are gradually being replaced by light-emitting diodes (LEDs). These neon lamps are very inexpensive to purchase and operate and are well suited for simple spectroscopic measurements.

Fraunhofer lines in the solar spectrum

With a spectrometer of sufficient resolution, the Fraunhofer lines in the solar spectrum can easily be made visible. These absorption lines allow conclusions to be drawn about the chemical composition of the gas atmosphere of the sun as well as that of the earth's atmosphere. The evaluation of such lines is one of the most important tools in astronomy, also in the spectrum of other stars.

Such lines in the solar spectrum were systematically examined by Joseph von Fraunhofer starting in 1814, from whom they also got their name.

Spectroscopy on Street Lamps

With the help of the Eureca line scan camera e9u-LSMD-TCD1304-STD, it is possible to record sophisticated measurements with high spectral resolution at relatively low cost for school or practical use. We demonstrate here the spectroscopy of street lamps as an application example.

A wide variety of different types of lighting are used for street illumination nowadays, with both gas discharge lamps and LED luminaires being used. With the help of a spectrometer, the different light sources can be conveniently measured and the respective spectra evaluated.
