Taken from wikipedia.
Try using a magnifying glass to observe, you might notice the gaps in the spectrum then. I know they're there because i've tested this myself in the past, properly in lab conditions, the gaps were pretty clear under a microscope.

Sadly my stock of equipment does not run to a microscope and my magnifying glass did not reveal any ‘gaps’ in the spectrum. I will just have to take your information at face value.
