[DIYbio] Re: spectralworkbench.org diy spectrophotometer

Ah ha, calibration instructions! http://publiclaboratory.org/wiki/spectral-workbench-calibration

Well I'm interested in building one of these to play with.  Will let you all know how it goes.

What do you all think about the Public Laboratory for Open Technology and Science (PLOTS) spectrophotometer design?

They have developed instructions for building a basic spectrophotometer from a low-cost webcam, electrical-conduit housing, and a fragment of a DVD as a diffraction grating.  Seems like the devil is in the details for something like this and they have paid a fair amount of attention to the details.

What about calibration?  I think I missed that step in their instructions...
