= Spectrohelioscope
{wiki=Spectrohelioscope}
A spectrohelioscope is a specialized astronomical instrument used to observe the Sun in different wavelengths of light, allowing scientists to study its surface and atmospheric phenomena in detail. The term itself combines "spectrum" (referring to the range of wavelengths of light) and "helioscope" (a device for observing the Sun). Spectrohelioscopes work by dispersing light from the Sun to separate it into its constituent colors, or spectra.
