Plastic Lens Holder

Quick answer: The Plastic Lens Holder is an optical bench accessory that holds a compatible lens upright and aligned along the optical axis during ray-optics, image-formation and focal-length experiments in school, college and university physics laboratories.

Product Description

The LabEquip Plastic Lens Holder supports lenses used in introductory ray-optics experiments. A correctly positioned holder keeps the lens stable while students align a light source, lens and screen along a common optical axis, improving observation accuracy and reducing unwanted movement during measurements.

The holder is of plastic construction. Its exact lens-diameter range, aperture size, base design, dimensions and optical-bench compatibility are not stated in this listing. We have not invented these figures and recommend confirming them with our sales team so the holder matches your specific lens and bench setup.

Specifications

Suggested Use

• Mount the holder on the optical bench or bench rod at the required position.
• Place the compatible lens securely in the holder, centred on the optical axis.
• Align the light source, lens and screen for the experiment being performed.
• Adjust holder position along the bench as needed for focal-length or image-formation measurements.

Care & Maintenance

• Handle the plastic holder gently to avoid cracking the clamping mechanism.
• Keep the lens seat clean and free of dust before inserting a lens.
• Avoid exposing the holder to excessive heat, which can warp plastic components.
• Store in a dry location when not in use.
