Public Lab Desktop Spectrometry Kit

Getting Started

The 1-page instruction sheet which shipped with your spectrometer remains the best documentation to date on how to assemble it. Download a new copy here:

Using your spectrometer

Once you've assembled your spectrometer and are ready to use it, plug it in and visit SpectralWorkbench.org to begin recording data with it. The web-based software works in the Chrome and Opera browsers with more coming soon.

(Peer) Support

Public Lab is not a corporation, we're an open community of DIY environmental science researchers which you have just joined! The best place to get help is the spectrometry mailing list; to join, register on this site and be sure to check the "plots-spectrometry" box.

The spectrometry mailing list is made up of people like you, who are building and improving open source spectrometry techniques. Ask questions, look for help, and consider helping others too!
