OPTICAL BENCH – METALLIC ALUMINUM

The Optical Bench – Metallic Aluminum is a precision laboratory apparatus designed for conducting and demonstrating a wide range of fundamental experiments in geometrical optics. It is constructed around a rigid square-section aluminum bar with a graduated scale from 0 to 100 cm, subdivided into 1 mm divisions, allowing accurate positioning of optical components.

The bench is supported by two molded side supports with leveling screws for stability and proper alignment. It is supplied with six freely sliding riders mounted on adjustable bases, allowing optical accessories to be positioned accurately along the bench. The accessory holders provide adjustable height for convenient optical alignment.

The Basic Optical Bench is supplied with the following accessories:

1. Lamp House with lamp and connecting leads
2. Object Screen, approx. 75 mm diameter, with wire gauze at the centre
3. Lens Holder for mounting lenses securely
4. White Receiving Screen, approx. 100 × 75 mm
5. Object Needle for image formation experiments
6. Plane Mirror mounted in a frame, approx. 100 × 75 mm
