## Overview

Rainbow Symphony's Diffraction Grating Slides feature 1000 lines per millimeter on durable 2" x 2" holographic films, delivering bright, clear spectral displays ideal for educational and professional optics use. Made in the USA, these slides are compatible with projectors and include measurement scales for precise wavelength analysis, making them a must-have for science classrooms and curious minds alike.

## Description

Diffraction Grating Slides-Linear 1000 Line/mm. Our Holographic Diffraction Gratings are highly efficient embossed Holographic Optical Elements (H.O.E.). Diffraction Gratings are used for the direct viewing and analysis of spectra from different gas tubes and other light sources. The quality of the spectrum produced from our gratings is the brightest possible with a minimum of distracting visual noise. Our gratings are the principal component in a spectroscope and are used for experiments pertaining to the study of light and color. Project a spectrum using an overhead projector or 35mm slide projector for spectrum demonstration purposes. Use in conjunction with colored film gels for additive and subtractive color demonstrations.

Review: Fun little things to give out to people. - These diffraction gratings are amazing little things. There are 1000 lines per millimeter, causing light to be separated into the various components, like a prism would do. They're great gifts for curious minds. I give them out to people at the checkstand often, just because. The irony is that if you buy a pack of 20, it only costs around ten bucks, where if you only buy a pack of ten, it costs 12 bucks. Very strange indeed.
Review: These Work Much Better Than The Refraction Glasses - I use these in a classroom to demonstrate diffraction. Prisms are nice but they are expensive and fragile. I have tried two different types of diffraction eye glasses. One set was terrible, one was OK, but these slides work really well! Highly Recommended! Good Quality!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will it chop frozen grapes?**
A: I just tried. This is ineffective against frozen grapes.

**Q: What is the difference between the various options?**
A: Basically the line spacing. We offer 500 ln/mm, 1000 ln/mm and cross axis 13,500 line/ in. The 1000 ln/mm spreads the spectrum the most.

**Q: Your scale is backwards.  Red is the longer wavelength.**
A: I think they meant the scale to be applied to the rainbow colors of the plastic part itself (just as a side reference relating color and wavelength), since the positions of colors on the grating depends on angles etc., they aren't tied to a specific position on the grating anyway.

**Q: Could anybody provide me more technical information or a datasheet? For example, the manufacturing method or the grooves' angle. Thank you in advance**
A: Sorry, just the line spacing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Product
*by K***E on August 28, 2024*

I got the 500 lines/mm and it works amazing. Using an extremely narrow slit, I was able to see Frauhofer lines in sunlight (never look directly at the sun) I calculated that there are actually about 521.7 lines/mm. Make sure to check the value against a source with a known wavelength if you want to do quantitative applications.
