About This Product
In the Newton’s rings experiment, the microscope is moved across the ring pattern and the vernier is read at each dark ring. From the ring diameters, students find the wavelength of the light or the radius of curvature of the lens. Enquiries from Colombia, Egypt, Liberia, Lesotho, Seychelles and Zimbabwe for the Newton's Ring Experiment Microscope receive an export quotation.
