EQUIPMENT USED IN EARLY EXPERIMENT BYJOHN POLANYI & GRADUATE STUDENT J.K. CASHION AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO. THESE EXPERIMENTS WERE THE FORERUNNERS OF THOSE THAT LED TO THE AWARD OF THE 1986 NOBEL PRIZE IN CHEMISTRY TO CANADIAN SCIENTIST JOHN POLANYI.
Function
A DEVICE WHICH DISPERSES INFRARED LIGHT INTO A SPECTRUM, IN THIS CASE USED IN CHEMILUMINESCENCE EXPERIMENTS TO COLLECT INFRARED EMISSION PRODUCED IN A REACTION CELL (910395) & RECORD THE SPECTRUM.
Technical
A STANDARD INSTRUMENT USED IN THE UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO LABORATORY, READILY AVAILABLE AT LITTLE COST, A VERY IMPORTANT FACTOR IN THE EARLY STAGES OF POLANYI'S RESEARCH. THIS ONE HAS BEEN MODIFIED TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE EXPERIMENT. SUCH INSTRUMENTS WERE USED IN MANY PHYSICS & CHEMISTRY LABS IN THE 1950'S-1970'S.
