From a brochure on the sights to see in Edinburgh, this on it's camera obscura which offers a virtual tour the city...
Con sus cinco pisos de ilusiones ópticas, Camera Obscura nos propone, entre todas sus atracciones, dos formas de explorar la capital.
Los telescopios de la torre de guardia nos permiten observar el pasar de los transeúntes y los monumentos de la ciudad.
Un poco más arriba, en una cámara oscura, un guía nos acerca a la historia de la ciudad y proyecta su imagen en tiempo real gracias a un ***juego de espectros***.
I know a fair bit about camera obscura, it's basic technology, a large-scale pinhole camera with a lens intead of a crude pinhole. The ones mounted in towers can be swung about and a guide expains the various places of interest. The dont involve spectrometers or anything so fancy, so I'm thinking perhaps I could render this as "set/selection/range of lenses".
Unless I'm missing something and it has a specific meaning here.
Here's another use, although in this case its used more figuratively...

"The crowning glory is Edinburgh's Camera Obscura. A camera obscura is a device that uses lenses and mirrors to project an image that enters through a hole at roof level downwards onto a circular screen housed in a darkened room within the building itself."

: It'd have saved me time and effort if they'd put "espejos" to begin with... :)

Although I agree with your comments that it simply means "set/selection/range of lenses\", I think they may be aiming at a play on words between "spectres" (ghosts, for which Edinburgh is renowned) and spectrum...Hence my suggestion :)
Example sentence:
Plasma images obtained using the camera obscura in the X-ray spectral region...

: This is a term I'd associate with spectroscopy and electronics. The camera obscura predates this technology and is much more low-tech.
