A spectroheliograph is an astronomical instrument used to make images of the Sun at specific wavelengths of light, allowing scientists to observe and study its various features and dynamic processes in detail. Unlike traditional telescopes that capture the Sun's light across a broad spectrum, a spectroheliograph isolates particular spectral lines using a diffraction grating or prism, enabling scientists to focus on specific elements or ionized gases present in the solar atmosphere.
