Lewicki, Martin; Hughes, Stephen – Physics Education, 2012
This article describes a method for making a spectroscope from scrap materials, i.e. a fragment of compact disc, a cardboard box, a tube and a digital camera to record the spectrum. An image processing program such as ImageJ can be used to calculate the wavelength of emission and absorption lines from the digital photograph. Multiple images of a…

Mills, Allan – Physics Education, 2012
Details are given for the conversion of an inexpensive webcam to a camera specifically sensitive to the near infrared (700-1000 nm). Some experiments and practical applications are suggested and illustrated. (Contains 9 figures.)

Euler, Manfred – Physics Education, 2013
A hands-on model of scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) is presented. It uses near-field imaging with sound and computer assisted visualization to create acoustic mappings of resonator arrangements. Due to the (partial) analogy of matter and sound waves the images closely resemble STM scans of atoms. Moreover, the method can be extended to build…

Gagnon, Michel – Physics Teacher, 2012
Introduced to study components of ionized gas, the mass spectrometer has evolved into a highly accurate device now used in many undergraduate and research laboratories. Unfortunately, despite their importance in the formation of future scientists, mass spectrometers remain beyond the financial reach of many high schools and colleges. As a result,…

Widiatmoko, Eko; Widayani; Budiman, Maman; Abdullah, Mikrajuddin; Khairurrijal – Physics Education, 2011
A simple spectrophotometer was designed using cardboard, a DVD, a pocket digital camera, a tripod and a computer. The DVD was used as a diffraction grating and the camera as a light sensor. The spectrophotometer was calibrated using a reference light prior to use. The spectrophotometer was capable of measuring optical wavelengths with a…

Brown, Douglas; Cox, Anne J. – Physics Teacher, 2009
The value of video analysis in physics education is well established, and both commercial and free educational video analysis programs are readily available. The video format is familiar to students, contains a wealth of spatial and temporal data, and provides a bridge between direct observations and abstract representations of physical phenomena.…

Beck, Rainer; Nibler, Joseph W. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1989
Discusses electron spin resonance, a form of magnetic resonance spectroscopy, used to study electronic structure of molecules with unpaired electrons. Studies benzosemiquinone radical anions which are long-lived and inexpensive. Uses a Project SERAPHIM computer program to perform a Huckel molecular orbital calculation. (MVL)
