Product Summary
The PASCO Basic Optics System is a comprehensive optics set that supports more than a dozen hands-on investigations right out of the box. A staple of university physics labs around the world, the Basic Optics System includes a suite of core optics equipment, such as a light source, optics bench, and lenses, as well as more advanced accessories that facilitate studies of both ray optics and geometric optics concepts. All the components, except for the bench, fit inside the included storage box.
Features
<b>Optics Track, 1.2 m: </b>Snap components onto the track for hassle-free alignment. The built-in metric measuring tape allows measurements to be made directly from the optics bench.
<b>Light Source: </b>Use the included Light Source as a bright point source, an illuminated crossed-arrow object, a primary-color source, or a ray box with up to five parallel rays.
<b>Lenses: </b>Investigate optics concepts using four 50 mm diameter ground glass lenses, with focal lengths of +100, +200, +250, and -150 mm. The lenses are mounted in protective holders with a tab indicator located at the center of each lens.
<b>Concave/Convex Mirror:</b> Produce an image from this mounted 50 mm diameter concave mirror that focuses on the half-screen.
<b>Adjustable Lens Holder: </b>Easily mount lenses using the Adjustable Lens Holder, which holds any circular lens between 20 and 75 mm in diameter.
<b>Ray Optics Kit: </b> Explore ray optics with a variety of accessories, including concave/convex lenses, concave/convex/plane mirrors, an acrylic rhomboid prism for studying refraction, and a hollow lens for teaching the Lensmaker's equation. The transparent storage box doubles as a water tank for studies of air lenses in water.
<b>Ray Table: </b>Rotate this two-piece Ray Table to investigate Snell’s law or the law of reflection. Includes D-shaped acrylic lens for studies of reversibility, internal reflection, and dispersion.
<b>Viewing Screen:</b> Project images onto this white plastic screen for easy viewing. The screen’s position is read directly from the metric measuring tape that lines the optics bench.
<b>Experiment Manual: </b>Explore 17 lab-ready optics experiments, complete with teacher notes and sample data.
<b>Storage Box: </b>Everything fits neatly into the protective storage box, except for the 1.2 m Optics Track.
