Optics
The Astro Laser Set presents massively extended version of our best-selling product – Ray Optics Demonstration Set, but focused on area of astronomy. This newest teaching equipment is intended and applicable for almost all age groups - from 8 year-old children to adults. Its goal is to acquire basic astronomical knowledge in an interactive way. The set improves the quality of teaching and offers the new possibilities in this constantly evolving field of science.
The Astro Laser Set uses two different independent sources of light (white LED, red and green laser light), which represent the Sun or the stars and are visible even in normal daylight or under artificial lighting in the interior. The kit contains plastic elements that present cosmic bodies (Earth, Moon, exoplanet ...) and optical elements (lenses, mirrors, etc.). The working drawings have exactly marked positions where optical elements, light sources and other objects are supposed to be placed during each task.
All topics and tasks can be conducted by a lecturer of the class in the field of astronomy, physics, optics, mathematics, geometry, etc. Some optical elements from the set (lens, scattering, semicircle, mirrors) can be used to explain and represent other optical phenomena (refraction of light, light reflection, etc.). Every element is taped with magnetized foil at the bottom, allowing intuitive attachment to a magnetic board.
