Centralisation of spectroscopy


Play all audios:

ABSTRACT IN his letter (NATURE, vol. xv. p. 449) Prof. Smyth makes a statement respecting the new “half-prism” spectroscope which I cannot help thinking must be founded on a misapprehension


of the principle involved. This will, I trust, be made clear when my paper is published in the forthcoming number of the _Proceedings_ of the Royal Society; but meanwhile, as Prof. Smyth


appears disinclined to wait for a full explanation of the instrument, I shall be most happy to answer his objections when he informs me what particular “laws of Sir Isaac Newton and nature”


are in opposition to the principle of this spectroscope. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS
