Thanks for the link! I’ve been trying to figure out how to buy/make a Raman spectrometer for cheap (currently in a third world country too!). Have you built one yet? I’m having trouble finding the lenses needed (mostly because of my lack of knowledge). Any chance you know what to use?

I haven't found the lenses yet although supposedly https://www.thorlabs.com/ has them and someone else recommended these guys to me for finding more high quality diffraction gratings than the 'rave goggles' quality you can find on amazon https://www.edmundoptics.com/
