Periodic Table of Spectra

Periodic Table of Spectra

Our gorgeous Periodic Table of the Elements poster is a wonderful teaching aid and a great compliment to your current periodic table.

See the emission spectra of all the elements. Your students will immediately understand that each element has its own spectral fingerprint.

Hang it in your office, lab, man-cave or women-cave.  We’re sure that with a bit of negotiation you’ll be able to convince your spouse, partner, roommate, parent or dog to let you hang it in your living or dining room…
