Plastic Lens Holder V-shaped

Product Code : SCL-LAO-12065

Plastic Lens Holder V-shaped (SKU SCL-LAO-12065) is a moulded HDPE stand with a 90-degree V-groove that centres spherical lenses and mirrors of 38 to 50 mm diameter on the optical axis. Its flat rectangular base sits on a bench or optical rail, and a moulded index line helps read positions. It serves focal-length and image-formation practicals in schools and colleges. Science Lab Supplies manufactures the holder at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, quoting schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors with no intermediary.

Specifications

The table records every specification of the V-groove plastic holder. In short, it is moulded from high-density polyethylene, takes optics from 38 to 50 mm across in a self-centring 90-degree groove, locks them with a strap or thumbscrew and stands on a flat rectangular index base marked with a central line.

Applications and Experiments for the Plastic Lens Holder V-shaped

The holder keeps a lens or mirror upright and centred while students move the object, screen or pins to find an image. Because the groove centres optics of different sizes automatically, setting up takes seconds, which leaves more of a practical period for readings in school and college optics labs.

• Class 10 and 12: focal length of a Convex Lens 50mm by the distant-object and u–v methods.
• Concave mirror focal length, with a Concave Mirror (50 mm) held in the groove.
• Lens combinations and simple telescope or microscope models on an Optical Bench Ordinary Physics Lab.
• Verifying the thin lens equation in senior school and undergraduate classes.

Keep the holder away from open flames and hot lamps, and do not overtighten the retainer on lens edges.

Standard Scope of Supply

Each holder is supplied with its integrated securing strap or thumbscrew assembly and an instruction sheet with alignment tips. Lenses, mirrors, screens and the optical bench itself are not included; they can be added to the same quotation as separate lines.

Packing, MOQ and Lead Time

Holders can be quoted singly or in the numbers needed for every optical bench in a laboratory. The quotation from Science Lab Supplies gives the packing, delivery time and price for that count, and lenses, mirrors or benches can be priced on it too.

Registered with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies is able to ship to buyers in the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh, Zambia, Rwanda and South Africa. If you are fitting out optics benches, the contact page is the quickest route to us; the enquiry cart holds your list, and the lab tender page covers public tenders.

Frequently Asked Questions

What lens sizes does the Plastic Lens Holder V-shaped accept?
It holds spherical lenses and mirrors with diameters from 38 mm up to 50 mm. The 90-degree groove centres each one automatically on the optical axis.

Does it fit metal optical benches?
Yes. The flat rectangular index base sits securely on a flat bench top or in standard metric optical rail channels, and its moulded centre line can be lined up with the bench scale.

Can it hold thick lenses or prisms?
It is designed for thin spherical lenses and mirrors. Wide rectangular prisms may not align properly in the 90-degree groove, so use a prism table or a dedicated holder for them.

Is Science Lab Supplies the maker of this lens holder?
Yes, the holder is a Science Lab Supplies product, moulded and finished at its works in Saha, Ambala, India. Buyers are quoted by the company itself rather than through a stockist.
