The 9 pages that link to Spectroscope, each with the reason it gives.

• Flame testRelated: A spectroscope reveals spectral lines that a color-only test cannot resolve.

• Robert BunsenRelated: A spectroscope let Bunsen and Kirchhoff distinguish element-specific spectral lines.

• Atomic spectroscopyRelated: Early spectroscopes made the discrete structure of atomic emission and absorption observable.

• Fraunhofer linesRelated: Improved spectroscopes made Fraunhofer’s wavelength measurements possible.

• Joseph von FraunhoferRelated: Fraunhofer used prism-based instruments to resolve and map dark solar lines.

• Norman LockyerRelated: Advances in spectroscopes made Lockyer’s study of solar lines possible.

• SpectrometerCompared with: Unlike a measuring spectrometer, a spectroscope may display a spectrum without quantifying it.

• William HugginsRelated: Huggins used spectroscopes to examine light from stars and nebulae.

• Optical spectrometerCompared with: A spectrometer quantifies spectral signals, whereas a spectroscope may only show them.
