Newton Colour Disc with Adjustable Clamp
Model Number: MTO-36
The Newton Colour Disc with Adjustable Clamp is a compact optical demonstration apparatus used to illustrate the visual mixing of spectrum colors during rapid rotation. Micro Technologies supplies the apparatus with a multi-colored circular disc and an adjustable clamp that allows secure attachment to a suitable laboratory stand or support. When the disc rotates rapidly, the individual colored sectors become difficult to distinguish and visually merge into a lighter, approximately whitish appearance. The adjustable mounting arrangement provides flexibility in positioning and makes the apparatus convenient to integrate into existing laboratory setups. Its simple mechanical construction, reusable color disc, and easy mounting make it a practical choice for physics laboratories, optics demonstrations, universities, colleges, training facilities, and bulk institutional requirements.
Product Specification
The Newton Colour Disc with Adjustable Clamp is a practical optical apparatus for demonstrating the visual combination of spectrum colors and their relationship with white light. It uses a circular disc divided into multiple colored sectors which visually merge when the disc is rotated at sufficient speed.
During slow rotation, the individual color sections remain clearly distinguishable. As rotational speed increases, the visual system begins to integrate the rapidly changing colors over time. This produces a much lighter combined appearance, commonly perceived as approximately white or pale grey depending on illumination, pigment quality, rotational speed, and viewing conditions.
Micro Technologies supplies the Newton Colour Disc with Adjustable Clamp with a practical clamping arrangement rather than a large dedicated supporting base. The adjustable clamp enables the apparatus to be securely attached to a compatible laboratory stand or support and positioned at a convenient viewing height.
The clamp arrangement also makes the apparatus useful where bench space is limited or where several laboratory accessories need to share a common supporting stand. Once securely mounted, the disc can be rotated for repeated demonstrations without requiring a complicated experimental arrangement.
The apparatus is useful for investigations involving color perception, visible-spectrum concepts, persistence of vision, and the visual mixing of colors. Because the principle can be observed directly during rotation, the unit provides a straightforward method of presenting an otherwise abstract optics concept.
Its compact form also simplifies storage and transportation compared with larger stand-mounted arrangements. With an adjustable mounting system, clearly divided colored sectors, and reusable mechanical construction, the Newton Colour Disc with Adjustable Clamp provides a practical and economical addition to laboratory optics equipment.

FAQs
What is the Newton Colour Disc with Adjustable Clamp used for?
The apparatus is used to demonstrate the visual mixing of different spectrum colors during rapid rotation. It supports experiments involving color perception and basic light principles.
What is the purpose of the adjustable clamp?
The adjustable clamp allows the Newton Colour Disc to be securely attached to a compatible laboratory stand or support. It also provides flexibility in positioning the disc.
What happens when the Newton Colour Disc rotates rapidly?
At sufficient rotational speed, the individual colored sectors become difficult for the eye to distinguish separately. Their visual effects combine, producing a lighter or approximately whitish appearance.
Does the disc become perfectly white when rotated?
Not necessarily. The observed result may appear white, off-white, or pale grey depending on the colors used, illumination conditions, rotational speed, and viewing environment.
Does the apparatus require electrical power?
The standard configuration is mechanically operated and does not require a dedicated electrical supply. This keeps setup and routine operation straightforward.
Can it be mounted on an existing laboratory stand?
Yes. The adjustable clamp is intended to fit a compatible laboratory support or stand. Compatibility should be checked against the dimensions of the available support.
Does the Newton Colour Disc require calibration?
No routine calibration is required. The disc should remain properly centered and the mounting clamp should be securely tightened before operation.
How durable is the apparatus?
The unit is built for repeated laboratory demonstrations. Correct clamping, careful rotation, and proper storage help maintain the disc and mounting mechanism over long-term use.
How should the apparatus be maintained?
Keep the disc clean and dry, periodically inspect the clamp and rotating mechanism, and avoid excessive force during mounting or operation.
Can Newton Colour Discs with Adjustable Clamps be ordered in bulk?
Yes. Bulk quantities can be supplied for physics laboratories, optics laboratories, universities, colleges, training facilities, distributors, and institutional procurement.
Can the clamp or mounting arrangement be customized?
Certain mounting dimensions and configurations may be customized for bulk requirements depending on the required stand compatibility and manufacturing feasibility.
How is the apparatus packed for shipping?
The disc and clamp assembly are protected against bending, scratching, impact, and unwanted movement during transportation. Bulk and export packaging can also be arranged.
