| stoft | "I'm not following the flap bit. Why does the spectrometer need to be blocked? Also, from some simple experiements, I found that I needed much much ..." | Read more » | about 8 years ago | |||
| stoft | "Clever; only 2 part types. Since the internal components are still merely "trapped" by the paper housing, you might consider adding a couple holes ..." | Read more » | about 8 years ago | |||
| stoft | "Jeff, I have a local supplier call Tap Plastics but I assume laser-cut plastics are now available in most metropolitan areas. Ok, that's fine to k..." | Read more » | about 8 years ago | |||
| stoft | "@viechdokter, yes, it was just an experimental baffle for stray light. Keeping reflections low inside the space between slit and grating is necessa..." | Read more » | about 8 years ago | |||
| stoft | "Actually, you need several additional pieces for SWB: 1) average 3-5 parallel lines, 2) monitor stability and take data until it IS stable or times..." | Read more » | about 8 years ago | |||
| stoft | "Ideally, the user would select a "stable" ('smooth' or 'broad peak') region to monitor and then the software would take samples (and average) while..." | Read more » | about 8 years ago | |||
