The new CCDSPEC will be on show at ASTROFEST on 10th and 11th February 2012 as a guest on the stand of Peak2Valley Instruments
ZLSPEC
A high resolution spectrogaph
ZLSPEC is under development to complement the low resolution CCDSPEC.
The ZLSPEC has a spectral range
350-850nm with a maximum resolution of
0.12nm (50km/sec) which allows velocities to be determined to ~10km/sec
for bright objects.
Global Warming Experiment
A laboratory experiment with a
model Earth and atmosphere is being developed which allow students to
measure the
temperature of the Earth with various gases as the Earth's atmosphere.
Suitable for school and Univesrity students as the experimnet can be
done at several levels of complexity.
Fraunhofer Diffraction Experiment
Elliott Instruments has provided a new USB colour camera and image capture and analysis system for Fraunhofer Diffraction experiments with single and multi-slts at the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Birmingham, UK.A commercial version of this system using multi-wavelength LED light sources is under development.
