Wooden Optics Lens Holder

Product Code : SCL-LAO-11253

The Wooden Optics Lens Holder is a laboratory support used to hold lenses or compatible mirrors upright during ray-optics experiments. It helps students and teachers maintain a stable optical element position while studying focal length, image formation, refraction and basic lens behaviour.

Product Description

The holder provides a simple support for positioning an optical lens on a laboratory table or compatible optical bench. Wooden lens holders commonly use a V-shaped groove, slot or shaped opening that supports the optic without requiring an electrical supply or complex adjustment mechanism.

Stable positioning is important when aligning a light source, lens and screen along a common optical axis. The holder can support practical activities in the Light and Optics equipment range. The accepted lens diameter and exact holder configuration must be confirmed before ordering.

Key Features

• Wooden construction: Provides a lightweight and stable classroom support.
• Upright lens positioning: Helps maintain the optical element in a vertical orientation.
• Simple laboratory operation: Requires no battery, wiring or powered adjustment.
• Optical alignment support: Assists with arranging a source, lens and screen along one axis.
• Reusable accessory: Suitable for repeated supervised optics demonstrations.
• Multipurpose compatibility: May hold lenses or mirrors within the confirmed size range.
• Educational value: Supports hands-on investigation of image formation and focal length.

Technical Specifications

What's Included in the Kit

• 1 × wooden optics lens holder

Optical lenses, mirrors, light source, screen and optical bench are not included unless specifically stated.

Applications / Uses

• Holding a convex lens during focal-length experiments.
• Supporting a concave lens during ray-divergence demonstrations.
• Positioning a compatible mirror for reflection experiments.
• Aligning lenses with a light source and image screen.
• Studying real and virtual image formation.
• Comparing different lenses from an acrylic lens and prism set.
• Supporting general practical work within the physics laboratory equipment range.

How to Use the Wooden Optics Lens Holder

1. Place the holder on a level optical bench or laboratory table.
2. Check that the base is stable and free from dust or debris.
3. Insert the lens gently into the groove, slot or retaining section.
4. Position the lens approximately perpendicular to the optical axis.
5. Align the centre of the lens with the light source and screen.
6. Move the holder gradually until a clear image or required ray pattern is obtained.
7. Record the relevant object, lens and screen positions.
8. Remove the lens with both hands after completing the experiment.

Handling note: Do not force an oversized lens into the holder. Handle glass optics by their edges and protect them from falls, scratches and excessive pressure.

Care & Maintenance

• Keep the wooden holder dry and away from chemical spills.
• Wipe it with a clean, dry cloth after use.
• Do not enlarge or alter the slot with sharp tools.
• Store the holder separately from loose glass lenses to prevent damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Wooden Optics Lens Holder used for?

It is used to support a lens or compatible mirror in an upright position during optical experiments.

Can it hold both convex and concave lenses?

Yes, provided the lens diameter and edge thickness fit the confirmed holder opening.

Can the holder be used on an optical bench?

It may be used on a bench or laboratory table, but compatibility with a specific optical bench must be confirmed.

What lens diameter does it accept?

The maximum diameter is model-specific and should be confirmed before publication or ordering.

Is a lens included with the holder?

No lens should be assumed to be included unless it is listed in the supplied product specification.

How should the lens be placed in the holder?

Insert it gently by the edges, ensure it is upright and align its optical centre with the light source and screen.
