Function/data graphs were made with Claris CAD and Maple and geometrical schematics with EucliDraw.
Spectrum Photographs
The black and white photographs were taken with an Exacta Varex 35 mm reflex camera loaded with Agfapan 100 Panchromatic film. The color photographs were taken through the three spectroscopes with a Nikon CoolPix 2200 digital camera. The source was either a suitable High Intensity Discharge lamp or a homemade DC arc device. Spectrum photos were processed with Photoshop, MW Snap 3 and Iris.
