Just on the way out, we were shown something really special. This is what Raman used to carry in his overcoat pocket. It's his personal spectroscope.

This is really special because Raman is most famous for his work on spectroscopy, and here is his personal spectroscope. The thing that he really carried around and valued. It's like Isaac Newton's telescope or something like that. This is as close as one can get to a scientist who's sadly died. Here you can see the tools that he used, not when he was doing big experiments, but when he was relaxing. You can imagine him: 'Look! Nice flower' and then go, looks at it, so we're very privi...
