Abstract
These designs use a reflection grating, usually blazed, to form the spectrum. All of the commercial spectroscopes are reflection-grating type of either the classical design (with an achromatic doublet collimator and mirror imager), Fastie-Ebert (with a single mirror), or the Littrow (with an achromatic doublet). Any of these designs can be replicated by the amateur, following the basic design rules outlined earlier.
