Scientific paper

The authors describe here a scanning piezo-electric Fabry-Pérot spectrometer (operating in the photon-counting mode and whose plate spacing and parallelism are maintained by a servo-controlled system to ensure high accuracy) for the study of emission lines from extended astronomical objects in the spectral range 4500 - 7000 Å. Details of the optical set-up and the Data Acquisition System are described. Its performance at the Cassegrain focus of the 1 m telescope at Kavalur is discussed. Some line profiles on planetary nebulae studied with the above spectrometer are also presented.
