The Scale in the Hand-Held Spectroscope

 

IMAGE. Scale seen through the viewer
of a hand-held spectroscope.

The spectrum is displayed below the scale that is to the right of the slit. The numbers on the scale mark hundreds of nanometers, and the thick dashed lines are 50 nanometer increments. Each thin solid line on the scale represents 10 nanometers.
