Product Specification Sheet
Multi-Slit Laboratory Ray Box
Model Number: MTO-21
The Multi-Slit Laboratory Ray Box is a compact optical light source used to generate controlled single or multiple light rays for reflection, refraction, lens, prism, and ray-tracing experiments. Micro Technologies supplies the unit with a molded plastic body combined with a ventilated metal lamp housing for practical heat management during operation. The optical arrangement provides one single slit and two triple slits, allowing three different ray patterns to be selected according to the experiment. Two slit configurations can also be used simultaneously for greater flexibility. A 12V, 2A lamp with a vertical filament provides the illumination required for clearly defined rays. Its versatile slit arrangement makes the apparatus suitable for physics laboratories, optics setups, universities, colleges, research facilities, and institutional procurement.
Product Specification
The Multi-Slit Laboratory Ray Box is a versatile optical light source developed for experiments where one or several clearly defined light rays are required. Its selectable slit arrangement provides greater flexibility than a basic single-slit light source, making it useful for a broad range of geometrical optics investigations.
The apparatus combines a molded plastic body with a ventilated metal lamp housing. This construction provides structural support while allowing heat generated by the lamp to dissipate during operation. The compact enclosure can be conveniently positioned alongside lenses, mirrors, prisms, transparent blocks, and other ray-optics components.
Micro Technologies supplies the Multi-Slit Laboratory Ray Box with three slit arrangements: one single slit and two triple slits. Users can select an appropriate configuration according to the required ray pattern, while two slits may also be operated simultaneously where the experimental setup requires additional rays.
Illumination is provided by a 12V, 2A lamp incorporating a vertical filament. The vertical filament arrangement works with the slit system to create useful ray patterns for observing the behaviour of light through different optical components.
A single ray can be used to investigate the laws of reflection, incidence and refraction angles, or the deviation of light through a prism. Multiple rays are particularly useful with convex and concave lenses because they allow convergence or divergence to be observed across several incident rays simultaneously. The apparatus can also be combined with rectangular blocks, semi-circular blocks, acrylic prisms, and mirror systems for additional experiments.
Its selectable slit system, robust housing, low-voltage illumination, and compatibility with common optics accessories make the Multi-Slit Laboratory Ray Box a practical long-term component for complete ray-optics laboratory installations.

FAQs
What is a Multi-Slit Ray Box used for?
A Multi-Slit Ray Box produces controlled light rays for reflection, refraction, lens, prism, and ray-tracing experiments. Different slit configurations allow the ray pattern to be changed according to the optical setup.
How many slit configurations are provided?
The standard apparatus provides one single slit and two triple slits. This gives users several options for producing individual or multiple light rays.
Can two slit arrangements be used simultaneously?
Yes. Two slit arrangements can be used simultaneously where the experimental configuration requires additional light rays or comparative observations.
What lamp is used in the Ray Box?
The apparatus uses a 12V, 2A lamp with a vertical filament. The filament orientation works with the slit arrangement to produce suitable rays for optical experiments.
Why is the lamp housing ventilated?
Ventilation allows heat produced by the lamp to dissipate more effectively during operation. This supports practical use during repeated laboratory experiments.
Can the Ray Box be used with convex and concave lenses?
Yes. Multiple rays are particularly useful for observing convergence through convex lenses and divergence through concave lenses in geometrical optics experiments.
Can it be used for reflection and refraction experiments?
Yes. The rays can be directed toward mirrors, prisms, acrylic blocks, glass blocks, and other optical components to investigate reflection and refraction.
Does the Multi-Slit Ray Box require calibration?
Routine calibration is generally unnecessary. The filament and slit arrangement should remain correctly aligned to maintain clear and consistent ray formation.
How should the Ray Box be maintained?
Keep the slit openings and optical output area clean. Periodically inspect the lamp, electrical leads, and housing, and disconnect the power before carrying out lamp replacement or maintenance.
Can Multi-Slit Ray Boxes be ordered in bulk?
Yes. Bulk quantities can be supplied for physics laboratories, optics laboratories, universities, colleges, research facilities, scientific equipment distributors, and institutional projects.
Are replacement lamps and slit components available?
Replacement lamps and compatible slit components may be supplied according to the required specifications and availability. The electrical rating should always match the apparatus.
Can custom configurations be supplied?
Certain slit arrangements, accessories, packaging, or complete optics configurations may be customized depending on order quantity and technical requirements.
