About This Product
Laid out on an open rail rather than inside a tube, the model lets a class see where each lens sits and how light travels from the objective to the eyepiece. Students read the lens positions on the graduated rail and use them to discuss focal length and magnification. Laboratories and colleges in Syria, Dominican Republic, Moldova, Estonia, Cyprus and Japan can buy the Telescope Teaching model through an export order.
