Optical Ray Track Set
Model Number: MTO-26
The Optical Ray Track Set is a comprehensive apparatus for studying ray paths, reflection, refraction, lens behaviour, and prism optics. Micro Technologies supplies the system with a white-painted wooden working board supported on non-skid plastic feet and fitted with a removable circular turntable approximately 170 mm in diameter. The turntable is divided into four equal quadrants with a graduated 0°–90° scale and 1° subdivisions for convenient angular measurements. The complete set also includes a 12V, 24W ray box with cylindrical convex lens and focal length of approximately 75 mm, slit plate, optical lenses, mirrors, and prisms. This coordinated arrangement provides a practical solution for detailed geometrical optics investigations and laboratory installations.
Product Specification
The Optical Ray Track Set provides an organized working platform for experiments involving reflection, refraction, ray tracing, lenses, mirrors, and prisms. Its combination of a graduated rotating turntable and a complete selection of optical components allows light-ray behaviour to be investigated from several different angles using one integrated apparatus.
The main working surface consists of a white-painted wooden board mounted on non-skid plastic feet. A removable circular turntable, approximately 170 mm in diameter, is fitted to the board. Two orthogonal reference lines divide the turntable into four equal quadrants, while the outer edge carries a circular scale graduated from 0° to 90° with 1° subdivisions. This arrangement provides a convenient reference for measuring incident, reflected, refracted, and deviated ray angles.
Micro Technologies supplies the Optical Ray Track Set with a ray box incorporating a 12V, 24W lamp. A cylindrical convex lens with an approximate focal length of 75 mm helps condition the light output, while the supplied slit plate provides both single and triple slit configurations for generating different ray patterns.
A comprehensive selection of optical components expands the range of experiments that can be performed. The set includes rectangular, semi-circular, right-angle, trapezoidal, biconvex, and biconcave optical elements along with suitable prisms and mirrors. These components allow comparative investigations involving parallel-sided blocks, curved boundaries, converging and diverging lenses, angular prisms, and reflecting surfaces.
The graduated turntable is particularly useful when quantitative angular observations are required because optical components can be rotated relative to a fixed ray source while their angular position is read directly from the scale.
With a dedicated working board, precise angular scale, ray box, and broad optical component selection, the Optical Ray Track Set provides a versatile and reusable system for complete ray-optics laboratory installations.

FAQs
What is the Optical Ray Track Set used for?
The apparatus is used for ray-optics experiments involving reflection, refraction, lenses, prisms, and ray tracing. Its graduated platform also supports angular measurements during practical investigations.
What is the diameter of the rotating turntable?
The removable turntable has an approximate diameter of 170 mm. Its surface is divided into four equal quadrants for convenient optical positioning.
What is the graduation of the angular scale?
The circular scale is graduated from 0° to 90° with subdivisions of 1°. This provides a convenient reference for measuring different optical ray angles.
Is a Ray Box included with the set?
Yes. The standard Optical Ray Track Set includes a ray box fitted with a 12V, 24W lamp and suitable optical components for producing controlled light rays.
What slit configurations are provided?
The supplied slit plate includes both single and triple slit arrangements. These allow individual or multiple light rays to be produced according to the experiment.
Which optical components are included?
The set includes several lenses, prisms, rectangular and semi-circular optical components, right-angle elements, mirrors, and other shapes required for common geometrical optics experiments.
Can reflection experiments be performed?
Yes. Mirrors are supplied for investigating incident and reflected rays, including practical verification of the relationship between incidence and reflection angles.
Can the apparatus be used for refraction experiments?
Yes. Transparent blocks, lenses, and prisms allow changes in light direction to be observed when rays pass through different optical surfaces and geometries.
Does the turntable require calibration?
The scale should be checked for correct zero alignment before quantitative measurements. Routine mechanical calibration is generally minimal when the apparatus is handled and stored correctly.
How should the optical components be maintained?
Keep lenses, prisms, blocks, and mirrors free from dust, fingerprints, and scratches. Use suitable non-abrasive cleaning materials and store components securely after use.
Can Optical Ray Track Sets be supplied in bulk?
Yes. Bulk quantities can be supplied for physics laboratories, optics laboratories, universities, colleges, research facilities, distributors, and institutional laboratory projects.
Can the optical component configuration be customized?
Component combinations, accessories, packaging, and certain dimensional requirements may be customized according to bulk procurement specifications and manufacturing feasibility.
