Subtractive Color Theory Demonstration
The Subtractive Color Theory Demonstration can be used to promote memory retention, encourage logical thinking, and teach the optics and physics of color subtraction. As you are challenged to create specific color designs on the back-lit board, you must predict how colors of the filter tiles will mix either by experimentation or previous understanding – then you must strategically slide the squares into the correct configurations.
An extensive guide to lead you through a variety of activities is included!
This Color Theory Demonstration has a game-like quality and is elegantly simple. It makes exploring and experimenting with color mixing accessible (and fun!) for curious minds of all ages.
Teachers: Use the puzzle as a way to introduce the phenomena of subtractive color mixing to students in a classroom and explore color theory even more deeply through the games and related activities in the included guide.
Includes:
• Back-lit Base with On/Off Switch
• Detachable Power Adapter
• 2 Sets of 18 Color Filters
each set includes: 3 Cyan, 3 Magenta, 3 Yellow, 3 Red, 3 Blue, 3 Green
• Activity Guide
Extra sets of filters are available for additional learning and scientific discovery!

Spectrometer, Advanced, with Diffraction Grating and RI Prism
Use our Spectrometer for introducing students to principal types of spectra and determination of the wavelength and frequency of emitted light. It can also be used for quantitative spectrometric measurement of angle of prism and refractive index of the prism material. It is similar to a Student Spectrometer but it has enhanced features for obtaining better quantitative results. The Spectrometer consists of a heavy cast base and a pillar for collimator support. The telescope arm moves along a fixed circular plate 6″ (150 mm) Dia., graduated in degrees (0-360 x 1). This plate has a double-ended vernier for more accurate measurements. Fine adjustment is accomplished by using a knob while coarse adjustment can be done by hand. Both the collimator and the telescope are mounted with an axis adjustment system. The telescope has a 10X Ramsden eyepiece and is fitted with a cross hair reticle. Both the telescope and the collimator are fitted with coated achromatic objectives of 7″ (178 mm) focal length and 1.25″ (32 mm) Dia., providing light for a brighter and sharper image. The focusing is refined by a concealed rack and pinion. The collimator slit 0.25″ (6 mm) long is specially designed for retention of initial accuracy during the life of the instrument. The prism table 3″ (75 mm) Dia. is held with the help of a clamping screw which enables the table to be rotated in any direction. This item has lines and concentric rings marked to assist in positioning the prism in relation to leveled screws. It is fitted with a diffraction grating holder of aperture 1″ (25 mm) x 1″ (25 mm) and a clamp for holding prisms up to 1.5″ (38 mm) high. The Spectrometer comes with a prism and a diffraction grating.
• Comes with an instruction manual

Mini Ripple Tank
This apparatus uses modern technology to completely update the Ripple Tank concept. It provides a compact and elegant method of showing the wave phenomena of diffraction, refraction, reflection, and interference, with none of the usual problems. The tank is 4″ (100 mm) square and is supported on a base which provides the wave generator and lighting. Images of the water waves produced are projected upwards onto a frosted screen, which is viewed from above. The white light source can be switched between constant illumination and strobe to give either moving or frozen images on the screen. In the strobe mode, the light source is synchronized to the wave generator so that perfectly static patterns are displayed. The wave frequency can be varied, giving wavelengths in the tank ranging from several cm to a few mm.
Specifications:
• 4″ (100 mm) square
• Base that provides the wave
• 3 Acrylic shapes for refraction
• 3 Aluminum plates for reflection
• 3 Dippers for plane and circular
• Wave generation
• Full instructions
