An optical bench kit that fits in suitcase! The complete kit, including the bench itself, can be disassembled in seconds, and stored conveniently and safely in its stylish, robust suitcase. The bench features guide at the rear to ensure the riders are correctly aligned, and cm/mm scale on the front. It comes in three parts which clip together easily to form 1.1 m track. The riders can take either 10 mm diameter rod, or 2.5 mm thick sheet. They feature pointer so their position can be read from the scale on the bench. The lens/slide holders can accommodate either a 40 mm diameter optical device such as mirror or lens, or a 50 x 50 mm slide such as diffraction grating or colour filter. The white LED also fits in this holder. All parts of this kit are available separately. • 1.1 plastic bench in 3 parts • White LED with Power Supply • 5 riders (1 with knearled screw) • 4 lens/slide holders • 1 prism table • 5 circular apertures (1.5/3/6/10/20 mm) • 1 single slit • 1 triple slit • 1 figure of '1' • 6 plastic lenses (focal lengths -100/-200/+50/+100/+150/+250 mm) • 1 mirror (50x50 mm) • 1 white screen (100 150 mm) • Suitcase 320 x 430 x 115 mm • Weight 1.9 kg

This apparatus is designed to determine the approximate value of Planck's constant, using a range of LEDs of known wavelength, to allow the electron/photon energy to be calculated. There are LEDs, covering the light range from deep blue at 470 nm to near IR at 940 nm, mounted on box with 4 mm sockets for attachment to voltmeter and ammeter for voltage and current measurements. By monitoring the voltage at which each LED just begins to emit light, graph of energy input as function of light emitted frequency can be plotted and an approximate value of Planck's constant can be deduced. Requires a 9 DC power supply (standard lab power supply).

Antique style mains bulbs, useful for optics experiments as the low brightness filament makes useful object for projection of an image, determining focal length etc. They have the added bonus of being an attractive form of mains lighting! Voltage: 230 AC. Power rating: 60 W.

This pinhole camera class kit contains enough components to make 10 pinhole cameras. The kit includes 10 square section black plastic tubes, 200 x 60 x 60 mm each, pre-cut black card and translucent paper for mounting on either end of the tubes. A small pin-hole in the black card will then project an image onto the translucent paper at the opposite end of the tube. Requires a bright light source (e.g. carbon filament or antique lamp) or desk lamp with suitable object to project an image.

High quality polaroid filters, sandwiched between glass sheet for rigidity and ease of cleaning, and mounted in 35 mm slide holder frame.

The Polaroid stress analyser allows students to view stresses which exist in clear plastic materials. This simple apparatus consists of two crossed Polaroid filter squares (i.e. axes perpendicular to each other), 65 x 65 mm, on a plastic handle. A gap between the Polaroid squares allows clear plastic shapes (or even a clear ruler) to be placed between them, to view any stresses within the material the stresses show as coloured areas and lines within the plastic. The analyser comes with two cut-out shapes which can be compressed to alter the stress patterns. Additional shapes are also available separately (OP74725).

A set containing four additional pre-cut shapes and 200 x 200 mm sheet (for cutting your own shapes) for use with the OP74720 Polaroid Stress Analyser.

A simple, cost-effective polarimeter suitable for student use. A monochromatic light shines through a polariser at the base of the polarimeter and through a sample tube containing the solution for testing. A second polariser located in the eyepiece is then rotated and the angle of rotation/extinction measured on the integral scale. Requires a standard DC power supply to power the light source.
