Diffraction Gratings
Diffraction Gratings are precision optical components used to disperse light into its component wavelengths for spectral analysis. These gratings consist of a surface with a series of closely spaced lines or grooves that diffract incoming light at specific angles depending on wavelength, enabling separation and measurement of spectral bands. Available in transmission or reflection formats, diffraction gratings are made from materials like glass or quartz and are often coated for enhanced optical performance. They are widely used in laboratories, research institutions, and industrial applications involving spectroscopy, photonics, and laser systems.
Double, Triple, Single Lab Pulley
Lab pulleys—available as single, double, or triple configurations—are precision-engineered mechanical devices used in laboratory settings to change the direction of force or lift loads with reduced effort. Typically made from durable materials such as metal alloys or hard plastics, these pulleys consist of grooved wheels that guide ropes or cords smoothly during experiments and mechanical setups. Single pulleys have one wheel, doubles have two, and triples have three wheels, allowing different mechanical advantages depending on the setup. Lab pulleys are essential in physics education, mechanical experiments, and engineering demonstrations where principles of force, tension, and motion are studied.
Equilateral Prism Glass
Equilateral Prism Glass is an optical glass component shaped as a triangular prism with all three sides of equal length. It is used to refract, disperse, or reflect light beams in precise laboratory, educational, and industrial optics applications. Made from high-quality, optically clear glass, the prism offers excellent light transmission and minimal distortion. It is widely used in physics experiments, spectroscopy, and optical instrument calibration. The equilateral prism’s geometry allows it to bend light rays at specific angles, enabling the study of light properties such as dispersion and refraction.
Force Pump
Force Pump is a mechanical device designed to transfer fluids by applying manual force through a piston or plunger mechanism. Unlike lift pumps that only raise liquids to limited heights, force pumps are capable of delivering fluids at higher pressures and over greater vertical distances. Constructed from corrosion-resistant metal or durable plastic, force pumps are widely used in educational demonstrations, physics experiments, and small-scale fluid transfer systems. This apparatus illustrates fundamental hydraulic principles and is essential in laboratories, training workshops, and prototype testing environments.
