Principle
Prism Spectroscope The Weiber Spectroscope displays the following results : •
Colorless spectrum.
•
The sunlight shows a typical absorption spectrum, the Fraunhofersche lines.
•
stones
show
no
absorption
Fluorescence lamps show an emission spectrum. The prism spectroscope is based on dispersion. The
light enters through a narrow slit (some models allow you to adjust the width of the slit) and is then dispersed through a series of prisms. Some models have an attachment with a built-in scale. These models are generally more expensive than their diffraction type cousins. Because prism spectroscopes are based on dispersion, the blue area of the spectrum is more spread out and the red parts are more condensed than the diffraction grating types.

PRISM SPECTROSCOPE Proper Usage of Spectroscope Using the spectroscope poses many problems for those who are not familiar with the instrument. Therefore, before attempting to determine the absorption spectra of gems, it is best to hold the spectroscope against some different sources of illumination, such as a fluorescent light bulb, a computer monitor, etc. This will show you very clear absorption bands in most cases.
Use of the spectroscope with reflected light
Proper use of the spectroscope and lighting is vital when wanting to see good spectra of gemstones. The most widely used technique is to make use of reflected light. Light enters the pavilion of a gemstone at a 450 angle and the spectroscope should be placed at the same angle on the other side. The light will travel its longest possible path in this way, picking up the most color. To prevent the background on which the stone lays from causing false readings, one should use a black non-reflective underground, such as a small piece of black velvet.
Another technique is to position the gemstone and the light source (penlight) in one hand in such a way that the light source illuminates the gem from behind, thus viewing the gemstone in transmitted light. There are nice spectroscope stands (some with builtin illumination) on the market, but gaining some experience eliminates the need for them. For the new user, it is recommended to start with a gemstone that produces a clear absorption spectrum, such as synthetic ruby.
