Higher Level Optics Physics Student Science Kits

• Set of equipment for carrying out 38 student experiments on optics
• Comes with comprehensive student and instructor experiment manuals and instructions
• In a tough plastic tray containing a foam insert with cut-outs for the equipment and featuring a transparent lid
• The experiments are designed to be compact but still easy to see when set up and carried out on the supplied optical bench or the base plate
• The optical components are attached in non-slip fashion by magnets
• Supplied overlays designate where the components are to be placed
• Includes comprehensive experiment descriptions (student / instructor version)
