About This Product
Lining up object, lens and screen on a single bench removes most of the guesswork from lens experiments. Students shift the lens or screen until the image is sharp, note the object and image distances and use them to find the focal length or check the lens formula. Laboratories and colleges in Solomon Islands, Mali, Central African Republic, Eswatini, Barbados and Bolivia can buy the Small optical bench through an export order.
