Introductory Optics System
Product Code : SCL-PL-12386
Introductory Optics System (SKU SCL-PL-12386) is a 1 m aluminium optical track with lens holders, an LED object, four lenses and a viewing screen, for forming and measuring images with converging and diverging lenses in school and introductory college optics. Science Lab Supplies manufactures the system at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area in Saha, Ambala, India, and delivers it to schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors straight from the factory.
Specifications
The track is a 1 m aluminium rail on plastic supports with a scale in 1 mm divisions. Five plastic sliders are used with three lens holders, a grid holder, a letter F object and a 4.5 V LED object; two pinholes and a double-sided screen complete the kit.

Applications and Experiments for the Introductory Optics System
The system is used to locate images formed by convex and concave lenses, measure object and image distances on the 1 mm scale and calculate focal length. It covers the lens topics of Class 10 science and Class 12 physics, giving schools a ready optical bench for lens work.
- Class 10 science: focal length of a convex lens.
- Class 12 physics: plotting object and image distances to find focal length.
- Pinhole images with the 3 mm and 5 mm pinholes, and magnification with the letter F object.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each system contains the 1 m track with supports, 5 sliders, 3 lens holders, a grid holder, a letter F object, the 4.5 V LED object with batteries, four lenses, a 15 × 15 cm double-sided screen, two pinholes, and a teaching guide with experiment list.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
You can ask for a single system for teacher demonstrations or enough for every bench in a physics lab; the quotation states packing, delivery time and price for that number, and other optics lab equipment for schools can be added to it.
Science Lab Supplies holds an Importer-Exporter Code, so it can ship to buyers in Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Uganda. Requests are welcome via the contact page and the enquiry cart, while the lab tender page explains supply against tenders.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which lenses come with the system?
Four lenses: a Ø50 mm +100 mm double convex, a 200 mm double convex, a 100 mm double concave and a −200 mm double concave, so converging and diverging lenses can both be studied.
Does the LED object need batteries?
The LED object runs on 4.5 V and its batteries are included, so no separate power supply is needed to light the object on the track.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
Science Lab Supplies is the manufacturer of this optics system. It is assembled in the company’s factory at Saha, Ambala, India, and buyers receive quotations from the factory itself.
Is a teaching guide provided?
Yes. A teaching guide and an experiment list come with the system, giving teachers a ready starting point for lens and image-formation practicals on the track.
