STUDENT'S SPECTROMETER & PRISM, VINTAGE {PHYSICS} by HILGER & WATTS, LONDON. This wonderful old instrument was made to the highest standards by arguably the best maker of the period. The main scale is calibrated 0 - 360 x 1 degree. With the use of the vernier scales, A & B, an accuracy of 2 minutes of arc can be achieved!

The collimator slit width is adjusted by rotating the end cap. The collimator tube length can be shortened or lengthened by rotating the knurled collar. Similarly the telescope tube is adjusted in the same way. The eye-piece is fitted with cross wires and may be illuminated via a side window in the eye-piece itself. The main parts of the instrument is made from an aluminium alloy and finished in battleship grey, (obviously left over from the second world war). The prism table locates positively via 3 grooves which fit on the 3 adjusting screw points. There would have originally been a spring fitted to the underside of the table, holding it down. This spring has long since disappeared but this in no way impedes the working of the instrument. This spectrometer is factory-fitted to a polished hardwood base. All moving parts operate smoothly.
