This spectroscope has been donated to the Foundation by Frans Arnold. Frans was the first lecturer in chemistry at the Thomas More College, the Hague (1960-1969). In addition and afterwards he worked for the KNCV and Radboud University as a course didacticist and innovator of chemistry education and from 2004-2010 under the auspices of the SLO in Enschede.
The spectroscope originates from the Laboratory of Analytical Chemistry at the University of Amsterdam (UVA). Frans got it in 1967. He used it in the laboratory for 5 HBS-B to study emission spectra of saline solutions, especially with the elements from the secondary series. It was challenging to analyze mixtures.
