Lens Holder

Product Code : SCL-OS-12865

The Lens Holder by Educational Instrument is designed to keep convex lenses, concave lenses, and compatible optical lenses stable in the path of light. A stable holder improves alignment between the light source, lens, screen, and optical bench, helping students observe lens behaviour with better clarity.

This accessory is commonly used with ray boxes, laser ray boxes, optical benches, screens, and geometrical optics kits. It supports practical experiments where accurate positioning of the lens is important for measuring focal length, forming clear images, comparing convex and concave lenses, and drawing correct ray diagrams.

How to Use the Lens Holder

Place the Lens Holder on a stable table, optical bench, or demonstration board.

Insert the required convex or concave lens carefully into the holder.

Position the holder in line with the ray box, laser ray box, LED light source, or lamp.

Adjust the lens so the light passes through the centre of the optical surface.

Place a screen on the other side of the lens if image formation is being studied.

Move the lens or screen until a clear image, focus point, or ray path is obtained.

Record the lens position, object distance, image distance, and observations.

Remove the lens carefully after the experiment and store all parts safely.

Safety note: Handle glass lenses carefully to avoid breakage. When using a laser ray box, never look directly into the beam or allow uncontrolled reflections.

Care & Maintenance

Keep the Lens Holder clean, dry, and free from dust.

Do not force oversized lenses into the holder.

Check stability before placing the holder in the light path.

Store the holder and lenses separately in a safe laboratory cabinet.
