stoft "Light is a wave, but think about it as particles. The 'beam' of light is aligned within a relatively narrow angle between a slit and the diffractio..." | Read more » about 10 years ago
stoft "Yes, this is a good topic. I did some work on this; maybe it will help. First, the 'size' of the spectrometer (the PLab type) is mostly decided by..." | Read more » about 10 years ago
stoft "They look good in the pic. It is difficult to get a ideal gradients with actual dots or lines. You might try attenuating the florescence light vs l..." | Read more » over 10 years ago

stoft "btbonval - true. I was just suggesting a fast integer approximation as a simple means to test and get a 1-number result. The existing work in patte..." | Read more » over 10 years ago
stoft "I think the term you are looking for is the "centroid" -- think of it as the point where the shape/volume/whatever would be physically balanced -- ..." | Read more » over 10 years ago
stoft "Looks promising. Maybe these are obvious but... - Pick 3-5 oils, or oil mixtures, as a reference test set -- low to high density -- then use them f..." | Read more » over 10 years ago
stoft "Good observations -- but why use a CFL which has poor SNR for wide-band averaging because the spikes prevent using higher light intensities for bro..." | Read more » over 10 years ago
stoft "Jeff, Yes, you could double the slit width and double the exposure but you also significantly decrease the resolution. That said, I've noticed that..." | Read more » over 10 years ago
stoft "Ok, so the plots are absorption; which makes more sense. However, the Y axis is labeled "Intensity". It would be more clear to either plot relative..." | Read more » over 10 years ago
stoft "Nice experiment. As I recall, white LEDs have a significant 'bump' at about 430nm, a dip at 470nm and a broad peak about 600nm so I assume the 470 ..." | Read more » over 10 years ago
stoft "Jeff, I constructed a few more slotted filters which just bend a bit and fit in front of the smartphone slit. The camera focus difficulty limits th..." | Read more » over 10 years ago

stoft "Ok, guess having the exposure default to max isn't too bad, but actually setting the exposure to max is better. I've seen evidence that the standar..." | Read more » over 10 years ago

stoft "Yes, resolution is affected by slit width; though much less than the intensity change which is related to the square area. I'd had some success in ..." | Read more » almost 11 years ago
