Product Specification Sheet
Adjustable Optical Slit
Model Number: MTO-28
The Adjustable Optical Slit is a precision laboratory accessory used to regulate the width of a narrow light opening for optics and light experiments. Micro Technologies supplies the apparatus as a circular metal disc approximately 75 mm in diameter with a 12.5 mm central aperture. A screw-controlled spring-loaded precision slit is mounted on one side, allowing the opening width to be adjusted according to experimental requirements. The slit provides a maximum opening of approximately 4 mm and has an effective length of about 10–12 mm. Its mechanical adjustment provides convenient control of the light passage without requiring interchangeable fixed slit plates. Compact, durable, and reusable, the apparatus is suitable for optical benches, light experiments, physics laboratories, research facilities, universities, colleges, and laboratory setups.
Product Specification
The Adjustable Optical Slit is a compact optical accessory used where controlled variation of a narrow light aperture is required. Unlike a fixed slit with a predetermined opening, this apparatus incorporates a screw-operated adjustment mechanism that allows the slit width to be changed according to the experimental setup.
The main body consists of a circular metal disc approximately 75 mm in diameter. A central aperture of approximately 12.5 mm provides the working area for the adjustable slit mechanism. The rigid metal construction gives the component a stable form suitable for repeated handling and mounting in compatible optical arrangements.
Micro Technologies supplies the Adjustable Optical Slit with a precision spring-loaded slit positioned on one side of the disc. The screw mechanism provides controlled movement of the slit, enabling the opening to be progressively widened or narrowed. This arrangement offers greater experimental flexibility than individual fixed-width slit plates.
The maximum slit opening is approximately 4 mm wide, while the slit length is approximately 10–12 mm. These dimensions make the apparatus suitable for forming and controlling narrow light beams in compatible optical experiments.
The adjustable opening can be particularly useful where the effect of changing aperture width needs to be observed or where a suitable narrow beam must be established before light reaches another optical component. It can be incorporated into ray-optics arrangements, optical benches, light-source systems, and related laboratory setups where controlled illumination is required.
The screw-controlled mechanism is straightforward to operate and requires minimal routine maintenance. Keeping the slit edges clean and protecting the adjustment assembly against excessive force helps preserve smooth operation and consistent aperture control.
With its durable metal disc, adjustable spring-loaded mechanism, and compact construction, the Adjustable Optical Slit provides a practical long-term accessory for laboratories requiring flexible control of light aperture width.

FAQs
What is an Adjustable Optical Slit used for?
The apparatus is used to control the width of a narrow light opening in optical experiments. It can help regulate the beam before light reaches lenses, screens, or other optical components.
What is the diameter of the metal disc?
The circular metal disc has an approximate diameter of 75 mm, providing a practical size for compatible laboratory optical arrangements.
What is the size of the central aperture?
The central aperture is approximately 12.5 mm in diameter. The adjustable slit mechanism is positioned over this working area.
How is the slit width adjusted?
A screw-controlled spring mechanism changes the opening between the slit edges. This allows the aperture to be narrowed or widened according to the experiment.
What is the maximum slit opening?
The slit can be opened to approximately 4 mm maximum width. This provides a useful adjustment range for different light and optics investigations.
What is the length of the slit?
The effective slit length is approximately 10–12 mm, providing an elongated aperture suitable for forming a narrow light track.
Does the Adjustable Optical Slit require calibration?
Routine calibration is generally not required for qualitative use. For experiments requiring a precisely known slit width, the opening should be verified using a suitable measuring instrument.
How durable is the apparatus?
The circular metal body provides good mechanical durability for regular laboratory handling. The screw and spring mechanism should be operated smoothly and protected from excessive force.
How should the slit be maintained?
Keep the slit edges clean and free from dust or debris. Avoid touching or forcing the precision edges, and store the apparatus in a dry, protected location after use.
Can Adjustable Optical Slits be ordered in bulk?
Yes. Bulk quantities can be supplied for physics laboratories, optics laboratories, universities, colleges, research facilities, laboratory projects, and scientific equipment distributors.
Can the mounting arrangement be customized?
Certain mounting, dimensional, or accessory configurations may be customized depending on the required quantity, specifications, and manufacturing feasibility.
How is the apparatus packed for shipping?
The precision slit mechanism and adjustment screw are protected against impact and unwanted movement during transportation. Bulk and export packaging can also be arranged.
