Color Mixing Apparatus
Model Number: MTO-40
The Color Mixing Apparatus is an RGB optical experiment system used to investigate additive color mixing with red, green, and blue light. Micro Technologies supplies the apparatus with three super-bright LEDs—RED, GREEN, and BLUE—whose intensities can be controlled independently through a microcontroller-based control unit. By varying the intensity of each primary light source, different combined colors can be produced and observed on the supplied screens. The controller allows intensity adjustment from 0 to 100%, with LEDs capable of being dimmed or restored independently. The standard kit includes a white Perspex screen, black aperture screen, and compatible power supply, providing a complete arrangement for practical light and color-mixing investigations.
Product Specification
The Color Mixing Apparatus provides a controlled method for investigating how red, green, and blue light combine to produce different visible colors. The system uses three independent high-brightness LED sources together with electronic intensity control, making it possible to vary each primary color separately and observe the resulting additive color mixture.
Three super-bright LEDs—red, green, and blue—form the core of the apparatus. Each light source can be controlled independently rather than operating only at a fixed output. This gives users the flexibility to compare individual primary colors as well as different two-color and three-color combinations.
Micro Technologies supplies the Color Mixing Apparatus with a microcontroller-based control unit. LED intensity can be adjusted across a range of approximately 0–100%, allowing gradual changes in brightness and color balance. Individual channels can be dimmed or restored independently, making it easier to investigate how changes in one primary color influence the final mixed color.
When red, green, and blue light overlap on the viewing surface, different additive color combinations become visible. Red and green can produce a yellow appearance, green and blue can produce cyan, while red and blue can produce magenta. When all three primary colors are suitably balanced, the overlapping light can produce an approximately white appearance.
The standard kit includes two screens. A white Perspex screen provides a suitable viewing surface for observing the resulting color combinations, while the black aperture screen assists with controlling the projected light arrangement. A compatible power supply is also included for operation.
With independent RGB intensity adjustment, microcontroller-based control, bright LED sources, and dedicated viewing accessories, the Color Mixing Apparatus provides a versatile and reusable solution for practical light, color, and optics investigations.

FAQs
What is the Color Mixing Apparatus used for?
The apparatus is used to investigate additive color mixing using red, green, and blue light. Different RGB combinations can be produced by changing the intensity of the individual LEDs.
Which light colors are provided in the apparatus?
Three primary additive light colors are provided: red, green, and blue. Each LED channel can be controlled independently through the supplied controller.
Can the LED intensity be adjusted?
Yes. LED intensity can be varied from approximately 0 to 100%. This allows users to observe gradual changes in the resulting mixed color.
What colors are produced by mixing two RGB lights?
Red and green can produce yellow, green and blue can produce cyan, while blue and red can produce magenta when suitably overlapped.
Can white light be produced with the apparatus?
An approximately white appearance can be obtained when red, green, and blue light are overlapped at a suitable balance of intensities.
Is each LED controlled separately?
Yes. The microcontroller-based system provides independent control of the red, green, and blue channels, allowing individual adjustment, dimming, and restoration.
What screens are included with the apparatus?
The standard kit includes one white Perspex screen and one black aperture screen. These components support projection and observation of the mixed colors.
Is a power supply included?
Yes. A compatible power supply is included with the standard apparatus for convenient operation.
Does the Color Mixing Apparatus require calibration?
Routine calibration is generally minimal. For comparative intensity experiments, individual RGB output and controller response can be checked periodically.
How should the apparatus be maintained?
Keep the LED units, controller, screens, and electrical connections clean and dry. Avoid impact to the optical components and disconnect the power supply before storage.
Can Color Mixing Apparatus be ordered in bulk?
Yes. Bulk quantities can be supplied for physics laboratories, optics laboratories, universities, colleges, research facilities, distributors, and institutional projects.
Can the apparatus be customized?
Control configurations, accessories, packaging, and certain electrical specifications may be customized for bulk requirements depending on technical feasibility.
