5 star rating  A rainbow
Hector from PR
I always wanted to have a prism and it wasn't until now that I was able to get one. I had to spend several seconds trying to decompose the light in front of the sun, so it's not easy. When I got the spectrum it seemed to me that the lines are much thicker than I expected, (red 700-nm and blue 450-nm) with the orange and yellow 565 - 590-nm being very diffuse since the range in nanometers of these colors is quite small. Thanks to xUmp I can see my own visible light spectrum.
