Unfortunately, light spectrometer, not mass spectrometer. I'd love a DIY mass spectrometer or liquid chromatograph for biohacking!

Does anyone know what you call the mount with a screw that's holding the spectrometer for either the mini/larger version? I couldn't seem to see it mentioned in the readme.

I tried something similar using just blu tack to hold the spectrometer to camera, from looking at the graph from it I think I possibly used the pi noir camera, as it can seem to see up to 900+nm or so.

I worked in a laser lab w/ an optical table in college and I believe it's called a beam probe mount. If you're referring to the black powder coated aluminum block w/ the through-hole and the tightening screw.
