    Description

    Up for sale is one B&W TEK  spectrometer.  The spectrometer you will get will be sealed, like shown in the 1st picture.  The 2nd picture is only to show you all the parts that are inside.  These spectrometers were originally installed in medical devices and were used for RAMAN spectroscopy but in my opinion, they are more suitable for general, non-RAMAN spectroscopy.
    Although these spectrometers are not exactly turnkey, they are not too far away from being usable spectrometers.  One thing you will have to get in a standard 5 volt A/C adapter.  Another thing you will need is a serial to USB adapter if you plan to run them on your USB port.  Finally, you will have to follow the instructions from a website that at one time turned these exact spectrometers into turnkey units.   To find this site, please Google
    "Spectrometers - Science-Surplus".   When you get there, please don't forget to click on "spectrometer resources" which has the most useful information and also where you can also download the free software to run these spectrometers.
    The way the spectrometers sit now, they will read from about 388nm to about 637nm.  Please view my 5th picture to see the spectrometer reading a mercury argon light source. The 3 big lines you see are strong lines of mercury at 546nm, 576nm, and 579nm.  If you increase the integration time to a few seconds, you would also be able to see mercury lines of emission with much less intensity.
    If you decide not to turn this spectrometer into a turnkey unit, many people enjoy using them just for the parts inside so they are perfect for DIY or students for example.
    Thank you.
