Scientific paper

A high finesse piezoelectrically-controlled and scanned Fabry-Perot interferometric system has been developed for high resolution studies of spectral lines from extended astronomical objects such as comets and diffuse nebulae. The instrument has a resolving power (at H-alpha) of about 40,000 and is superior to conventional pressure-scanned Fabry-Perot spectrometers in its finesse, range of scanning, and ease of operation. This paper describes the basic design and operation of the instrument.
