A specialized optical instrument designed to observe or measure the sun's spectrum and the colors of solar radiation.
From helio- (sun) plus 'chroma' (color) plus '-scope' (instrument for viewing), combining three parts to name a device for examining solar color.
A heliochromoscope lets astronomers see the sun's colors in detail—it's basically a sun-watching tool that reveals what elements are burning in the sun!
