Light Box and Optical Set
Model Number: MTO-22
The Light Box and Optical Set is a comprehensive laboratory optics system combining a 12V, 24W light source with lenses, prisms, mirrors, slit plates, optical blocks, and color filters. Micro Technologies supplies the set for practical investigations involving reflection, refraction, convergence, divergence, ray tracing, prism behaviour, and color mixing. The light box incorporates an axial-filament lamp with flexible leads and an adjustable cylindrical convex lens arrangement for producing convergent, parallel, or divergent beams. A broad collection of acrylic optical components, mirrors, slit plates, and eight color filters extends the experimental range considerably. With all major accessories supplied in one coordinated kit, the set provides a practical solution for physics laboratories, optics laboratories, universities, colleges, research facilities, and institutional procurement.
Product Specification
The Light Box and Optical Set combines a controllable light source with a broad selection of optical components for carrying out practical experiments in geometrical and color optics. The system allows users to generate different beam configurations and then investigate how those rays interact with lenses, mirrors, prisms, and transparent optical blocks.
The light box is housed in a robust matt-black enclosure and incorporates a 12V, 24W axial-filament lamp with flexible electrical leads. One end of the unit accommodates a cylindrical convex lens in an adjustable sliding mount. By changing its position, the light output can be configured to produce convergent, approximately parallel, or divergent beams according to the experimental requirement.
Micro Technologies supplies the Light Box and Optical Set with five transparent plastic optical blocks. These include one rectangular block, one semi-circular block, an equilateral prism with approximately 60° × 60° × 60° geometry, a 90° × 60° × 30° right-angle prism, and a 90° × 45° × 45° right-angle prism. This selection supports investigations involving refraction, ray deviation, critical angle, and internal reflection.
Three cylindrical acrylic lenses are also included: one double convex, one double concave, and one thick convex lens. The double convex and double concave components share a common radius of curvature, allowing convenient comparison of converging and diverging behaviour.
Three mirrors—plane, curved parabolic, and curved semi-circular—expand the set to reflection experiments. Two slit plates provide both narrow and wide single-slit and multi-slit configurations for controlling ray patterns.
Eight color filters in red, green, blue, violet, orange, cyan, yellow, and pink further support experiments involving colored light. With this extensive accessory selection, the Light Box and Optical Set provides a versatile, reusable solution for complete ray-optics laboratory installations.
