In How to Work with the Spectroscope (1878), he provides a complete overview of the field in which he was the undisputed expert, describing in detail the care and use of instruments ranging from the universal spectroscope to the star spectroscope to the induction coil. This volume also includes Browning's A Plea for Reflectors (1867), in which he provides an introduction to the silvered-glass reflecting telescope. Numerous illustrations of the various instruments and a complete price list of Browning's lenses and other apparatuses provide important insight into his business practices and range of expertise. Designed for the lay enthusiast no less than the dedicated scientist, these volumes are also valuable witnesses to the growth of popular science in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Britain.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Spectroscopes and spectrum apparatus\u003cbr\u003e Objects for the micro-spectroscope\u003cbr\u003e How to make a map with a spectroscope\u003cbr\u003e Works on spectrum analysis\u003cbr\u003e Catalogue\u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Popular astronomy \u0026amp; space [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Popular astronomy \u0026amp; space\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Popular%20astronomy%20\u0026amp;%20space%20%5BWNX%5D%22\"\u003eWNX\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46265933824280,"sku":"9781108014182","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108014182i.jpg?v=1694869305","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/how-to-work-with-the-spectroscope-a-manual-of-practical-manipulation-with-spectroscopes-of-all-kinds-paperback-9781108014182","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
