Despite ongoing efforts to transition cultures to feeder-free conditions, the derivation and culture of human embryonic stem cells (hESC) remain largely dependent on co-cultures with mouse embryonic feeders (MEFs). Here, we show a novel methodology for rapidly removing feeders from hESC cultures prior to experimentation.

FAQs
The narrow slit defines the incoming beam before the first concave mirror collimates it into a more controlled path. A plane diffraction grating then separates wavelengths, while the second concave mirror focuses the dispersed light onto a detector or photographic surface. This arrangement preserves the instrument’s flexible optical layout and allows separated spectral features to be recorded for analysis.
The plane diffraction grating provides the wavelength-dependent dispersion that spreads incoming light into distinct spectral components. Its selection can therefore influence how clearly spectral features are separated, while the detector determines how those separated signals are recorded. Using different gratings and detectors gives the Czerny-Turner spectrograph flexibility for differing spectroscopy measurements and experimental requirements.
The recorded spectrum reveals whether particular wavelengths appear as enhanced emission features or reduced absorption features. Comparing these patterns helps investigators interpret the spectral properties of the source and can support element identification. In physics, this distinction is useful because emission and absorption measurements provide different ways to examine how matter interacts with light.
First, light enters through the narrow slit. The first concave mirror collimates the beam, the plane diffraction grating disperses it by wavelength, and the second concave mirror focuses the separated light. A detector or photographic surface records the result. The recorded spectrum can then be examined for emission, absorption, elemental, or other spectral features.
Researchers may select this instrument when an experiment requires wavelength-resolved measurements with adaptable optical components. Its compatibility with different diffraction gratings and detectors supports laboratory spectroscopy across varied measurement setups. The resulting spectra can be used to investigate emission and absorption features, identify elements, and determine spectral properties in controlled physics experiments.
In astronomical observations, the spectrograph helps analyze light from observed sources through their spectral features. Plasma studies can use the same capability to examine emitted or absorbed wavelengths and identify elements. Optical calibration provides another application, using the instrument’s wavelength separation and recording capability to assess spectral behavior in optical systems.
