OPTICAL BENCH: Light box (light source)

OPTICAL BENCH: Light box light source

• An Optical Bench is often call an Optical Table.
• This is a simple, low cost but very useful student optical bench with scale that permits experiments in reflection, refraction, lenses and the creation of images.
• Ideal for basic work in optics relating to images, dispersion, focal lengths, mirrors etc.
• Overall length 1200 mm long with an adjustable metric scale.-
• Uses a Light Box from LIGHT BOX & OPTICAL SET as light source.
• Optical Bench parts include:
  Convex and Concave lenses / Targets, large prism / Prism table / Photographic slides / White screen / Sliding supports for components.

(Wikipedia excerpt: ..."An optical table is a vibration control platform that is used to support systems used for laser- and optics-related experiments in science, engineering and manufacturing. The surfaces of these tables are designed to be very rigid with minimum deflection so that the alignment of optical elements remains stable over time.[1] Many optical systems require that vibration of optical elements be kept small. As a result, optical tables are typically very heavy and incorporate vibration isolation and damping features in their structure. Many use pneumatic isolators that act as mechanical low-pass filters, reducing the ability of vibrations in the floor to cause vibrations in the tabletop...

The surface of an optical table is typically stainless steel with a rectangular grid of tapped holes in either metric or imperial units: metric: M6 on a 25 mm grid,  imperial: ¼"-20 UNC on a 1" (25.4 mm) grid

Optical breadboards, benches, and rails are simpler structures that perform a similar function to optical tables. These are used in teaching and in research and development, and are also sometimes used to support permanently aligned optical systems in finished devices such as lasers...")
