Optical Bench Extension 50cm

Product Code : SCL-OS-12860

The Optical Bench Extension 50cm by Educational Instrument helps teachers and students create a longer linear optical path when the standard bench length is not sufficient for a required experiment. It is especially useful when experiments need wider spacing between the light source, lens holder, screen, mirror, or object pin.

This optical bench extension is intended for use with compatible optical bench systems. The confirmed extension length is 50cm; rail profile, material, connector design, and compatibility details should be confirmed before tender submission or bulk procurement.

How to Use the Optical Bench Extension 50cm

Place the existing optical bench on a stable, level laboratory table.

Align the Optical Bench Extension 50cm with the main bench rail or track.

Secure the extension using the compatible joining method or connector supplied with the bench system.

Check that the extended rail is straight and level before mounting optical accessories.

Place the light source, lens holder, object pin, mirror, or screen along the bench as required by the experiment.

Record object distance, image distance, and component positions carefully during practical work.

Safety note: Do not force incompatible bench parts together. When using lasers or bright light sources, avoid direct eye exposure and follow standard laboratory supervision rules.

Care & Maintenance

Wipe the bench extension with a clean, dry cloth after use.

Store it flat or in a protective cabinet to prevent bending or misalignment.

Keep the rail or track free from dust so optical riders can move smoothly.

Check connectors and alignment before each practical session.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Optical Bench Extension 50cm used for?

An Optical Bench Extension 50cm is used to increase the usable length of a compatible optical bench. It helps create longer optical paths for lens, mirror, screen, and light-source experiments.

Can this extension be used for school physics labs?

Yes, it is suitable for school and college physics labs when the optical bench system is compatible. Teachers can use it for focal length, image formation, and basic ray optics demonstrations.

What is the length of this optical bench extension?

The confirmed extension length is 50cm. Other details such as material, rail design, and connector type should be confirmed before purchase.

Does it include lenses or light sources?

No. This product page describes the Optical Bench Extension 50cm only. Lenses, light sources, holders, screens, and riders should be ordered separately if needed.

Is it compatible with every optical bench?

Compatibility depends on the rail profile, width, connector type, and bench design. Buyers should confirm the existing optical bench model before ordering.

How should the extension be stored?

Store it in a dry, flat position away from heavy loads. Proper storage helps maintain straightness and alignment for repeated laboratory use.
