Below the prism is an achromatic eye-piece, having an adjustable slit between the two lenses ; the upper lens being furnished with a screw motion to focus the slit. A side slit, capable of adjustment, admits, when required, a second beam of light from any object whose spectrum it is desired to compare with that of the object placed on the stage of the Microscope. This second beam of light strikes against a very small prism suitably placed inside the apparatus,...
Page 191 - Light, entering the round hole near E, strikes against the right-angled prism which we have mentioned as being placed inside the apparatus, and is reflected up through the slit belonging to the compound prism. If any incandescent object is placed in a suitable position with reference to the round hole, its spectrum will be obtained, and will be seen on looking through it.
Page 192 - Remove a, and open the slit by means of the milled head, not shown in cut, but which is at right angles to d d. When the slit is sufficiently open, the rest of the apparatus acts like an ordinary eyepiece, and any object can be focussed in the usual way. Having focussed the object, replace a, and gradually close the slit till a good spectrum is obtained. The spectrum will be much improved by throwing the object a little out of focus. Every part of the spectrum differs a little from adjacent parts...
