Product Specification Sheet
Laboratory Electroscope
Model Number: MTEE-20
The Laboratory Electroscope is a sensitive apparatus designed for observing and investigating electrostatic charge. It features removable glass windows at both the front and rear, providing clear visibility of the internal leaves during experiments. The enclosed construction also helps protect the sensitive leaf mechanism, while a booklet containing six replacement leaves with fitting instructions is supplied.
Product Specification
The Laboratory Electroscope is a practical electrostatic apparatus designed for detecting the presence of electric charge and investigating fundamental static-electricity phenomena.
The instrument uses sensitive leaves that respond when electrostatic charge is introduced into the conducting system. Under suitable charging conditions, the leaves acquire similar charges and diverge due to electrostatic repulsion, providing a clearly visible indication of charge.
A key feature of this model is its front and rear removable glass windows. These transparent panels allow the movement of the internal leaves to be observed easily from either side of the apparatus.
The enclosed housing helps protect the lightweight leaves from unwanted air movement and accidental disturbance during experiments. At the same time, the removable windows provide convenient access to the internal mechanism when inspection or leaf replacement is required.
Micro Technologies supplies the apparatus with a booklet containing six replacement leaves along with fitting instructions, helping support continued use of the instrument.
The electroscope can be used with suitable friction rods, electrostatic materials kits, Van de Graaff generators, and other compatible electrostatic charge sources for a variety of investigations.

FAQs
What is this Electroscope used for?
It is used to detect and investigate electrostatic charge through the visible movement of sensitive leaves.
Does it have glass viewing windows?
Yes. Glass windows are provided at both the front and rear of the instrument.
Are the glass windows removable?
Yes. Both windows are removable for convenient access to the internal mechanism.
How does the Electroscope indicate charge?
Electrostatic charge causes the sensitive leaves to deflect or separate, providing a visible indication of charge.
Why is the leaf mechanism enclosed?
The enclosure helps protect the lightweight leaves from unwanted air currents and physical disturbance.
