Light sources
Lasers
Laser: connected with fiber
- Description: laser connected with fiber to collimator tube.
- Class: IIIb (3B), 5 mW. Note: when used with the collimator tube the effective output is below class II, i.e. no risk for the eye.
- Wavelength: 635 nm.
Laser: stick
- Description: black, long thick stick, He-Ne laser.
- Class: II, 0.95 mW.
Laser: small tube
- Description: small laser powered by 4.5 V flat battery.
- Class: IIIa (3R), about 4.5 mW.
White light ray emitter
- Description: white light ray emitter connected to collimator tube.
- Wavelength: 360-1700 nm.
- Stabilization time: 5 min.
Spectral lamp
- Types of bulbs: neutral helium (He I) and neutral neon (Ne I).
- He I lines should be easy to find:
Color | Wavelenght (Å) | Comments |
---|---|---|
Red | 6678.15 | |
Yellow | 5875.6 | Double lines (5875.6148 and 5875.6404 Å) |
Turquoise | 5015.68 | |
Blue | 4921.93 | |
4713.2 | ||
4471.5 |
- Note: from the spectra given by the manufacturer, one should also be able to see a red double line at 7065.3 Å and a violet line at 3888.65 Å. However, a picture with long exposure time will have to be taken in order to see them and the latter will still be extremely weak.
