Optical Bench Simple Type

The IEC Optical Bench is a low cost but very useful optical system that permits experiments in reflection, refraction, lenses and the creation of images. The bench is 1.5m long with an adjustable metric scale. The comprehensive kit of parts includes convex and concave lenses, targets, large prism, prism table, various photographic slides, a white screen and sliding supports for components.

The Optical Bench Simple Type designed to be used with the Hodson Light Box as the light source and the lens and prism blocks from the Light Box kit can be used on the Optical Bench. The study of colours and shadows is performed from the mirror end of the light box and the study of light rays and the creation of images is performed from the front end of the light box.
