Raybox & Accessories

A versatile raybox with a comprehensive range of accessories. The raybox can be used in a wide range of optical experiments with transparent flatbased blocks, prisms and mirrors. It can be used in a single-ray mode or with the two-slit, three-slit or broad-slit masks. The emergent light can be made to be divergent, convergent or parallel by adjusting the position of the light source in relation to the lens.

The light source is mounted under an adjustable lid, designed so that minimum light emerges in unwanted directions. Coloured filters can be used to produce beams of coloured light, but external light levels have to be reduced for maximum effectiveness.
