True-Spectrum Photography with Structural Color

Lippmann plates, an early color photography technique, capture true spectra by creating a matrix of vertically-stacked diffraction gratings that reflect original wavelengths when illuminated with white light. This method offers unparalleled spectral accuracy but is limited by long exposure times and viewing angle constraints, making it impractical for widespread adoption despite its scientific value.
