Some spectroscopes use prisims which rely on refraction to searate out the components. But the most sensitive spectrometers use diffraction gratings. A diffraction grating is an opaque material with transparent slits, usually thousands of slits per inch. The gratings rely on diffraction and subsequent interference to separate out the components.

a spectroscope is a device that breaks up light into a spectrum of colors.

A device for separating light into different colors is know as a ?
spectroscope
Each colour component of white light has a different wavelength. Therefore meaning that each component is refracted by a slightly different amount, separating the colours and making them visible by dispersion.
Prism
A spectroscope relies on the phenomenon of diffraction. This scientific instrument separates light into its different wavelengths. It was invented in 1814 by a German optician, Joseph von Fraunhofer.
it can be break up white light and make a rainbow
That's a spectroscope, usually coupled to the business end of a telescope. The telescope is responsible for producing enough light from the star for the spectroscope to work with.
A spectroscope studies the poperties of light.

A spectroscope in an instrument for observing a spectrum of light.
The purpose of the slit in the spectroscope is to regulate the amount of light that comes in. Without the slit, light would come from various angles.
A spectroscope is used to measure properties of light over a specific portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.
