Geometrical Optics Magnetic Kit with Diode Laser in Case I

A modern experimental MAGNETIC set containing a 5-beam laser with 3 settings (emits 1, 3 or 5 beams simultaneously) and 8 different optical elements (mirror, prisms, acrylic blocks, beaker) and Kolbo's disk in the form of a magnetic mat and a mains power supply. All optical elements, except the beaker, have factory-installed strong neodymium magnets embedded; the laser has magnets affixed to its rear surface, and the Kolbo's disk is printed on magnetic foil, hence the entire set can be used to demonstrate experiments on a metal board, with the certainty that the arranged elements will not move, and the whole class will observe and participate simultaneously in the same experiment. Placing the optical elements and the laser on a white board also provides an additional possibility to add side comments, formulas and theses and conclusions suggested by both the teacher and the students.

The whole is housed in a carrying case with a handle, closed with clasps and padded with foam with fitted recesses for the set elements.

COMPONENTS OF THE SET:

1. red 5-beam laser with a switch (can emit one, three or five beams);
2. rectangular prism (45-90-45);
3. trapezoidal prism;
4. acrylic block - model of a double-convex (biconvex) lens;
5. acrylic block - model of a double-concave (biconcave) lens;
6. acrylic block - model of a plano-convex lens;
7. parallelepiped acrylic block - rectangular prism;
8. flexible mirror with adjustable radius of curvature - adjustable as a flat, convex or concave mirror (various radii of curvature); /elements 1-8 have embedded (item 1 - glued) small, strong neodymium magnets - ARE FULLY MAGNETIC
9. semi-cylindrical beaker, transparent, made of plastic, for filling with water or another medium;
10. Kolbo's disk printed on white MAGNETIC FOIL;
11. Kolbo's disk cardboard, rigid, foil-wrapped on both sides;
12. power supply for the laser;
13. cloth for cleaning optical elements;
14. carrying case with a handle, closed with clasps, with foam-fitted recesses for the set elements.
