Model Number: MTO-43
The Spectrometer Prism is a precision optical component used with compatible spectrometers for experiments involving refraction, dispersion, refractive index, and spectral analysis. Micro Technologies supplies equilateral prisms with optically worked working faces to provide clear interaction with incident light. Three glass options are available: borosilicate crown glass with a refractive index of approximately 1.510, hard crown glass with a refractive index ranging from approximately 1.519 to 1.523, and dense flint glass with a refractive index ranging from approximately 1.620 to 1.623. Each material is available in 25 × 25 mm, 32 × 32 mm, and 38 × 38 mm length-and-face configurations, allowing laboratories to select a prism according to optical and dimensional requirements.
Product Specification
The Spectrometer Prism is an equilateral optical prism manufactured for use in spectrometer arrangements and other laboratory experiments where controlled refraction and dispersion of light are required. Its working faces are optically finished to provide suitable surfaces for the entry and exit of light during precision optical observations.
When a light beam passes through the prism, it is refracted at the glass-air boundaries. Because the refractive index of optical glass varies with wavelength, different spectral components are deviated by different amounts. This property makes the Spectrometer Prism useful for investigating dispersion, minimum deviation, refractive index, and the spectral characteristics of suitable light sources.
Micro Technologies supplies the Spectrometer Prism in three optical glass categories to accommodate different experimental requirements. The borosilicate crown glass configuration has a nominal refractive index of approximately 1.510 and provides a practical option for general spectrometer work.
Hard crown glass variants offer a refractive index of approximately 1.519 to 1.523. This material provides a slightly higher optical density and can be selected where the experimental arrangement requires the corresponding refractive characteristics.
For applications requiring considerably greater optical density, dense flint glass prisms are available with a refractive index of approximately 1.620 to 1.623. The higher refractive index produces different deviation and dispersion characteristics compared with crown glass, making it useful for comparative optical investigations.
All three material categories are available in nominal length × face sizes of 25 × 25 mm, 32 × 32 mm, and 38 × 38 mm. This range allows selection according to spectrometer dimensions, beam size, and laboratory requirements.
With multiple glass materials, optically worked surfaces, and three practical size options, the Spectrometer Prism provides a versatile optical component for spectrometry, spectroscopy, refraction, and light-dispersion applications.
