Optic fibres
An optical fiber is a flexible, transparent fiber made of glass or plastic, the diameter of which can vary. Optical fibers are often used as a means to guide or transmit light between the two ends of the fiber.

Plastic lenses
A lens is a transmissive optical component that focusses or disperses a light beam by means of refraction. It is made of a transparent plastic or glass material. It is used for imaging applications, light beam shaping or light collection.

Workshop: Art with light & Atmosphere with a night lamp
LEDs
A light-emitting diode is a two-lead semiconductor light source. It is a p-n junction diode that emits light when activated. High power LEDs are all about efficiency and lowering forward voltage (Vf) to achieve a higher lumen/watt.

Workshop: Remote sensor with smartphone readout.
LED strip
LED strip is a flexible circuit board populated by surface mounted light-emitting diodes (SMD LEDs) and other components on an adhesive backing. It can be used as accent lighting, backlighting, ...
3-pin connectors for LED-strips. Comes in a pair: male-female

Mirrors
A mirror reflects light in such way that the reflected light preserves most of the detailed physical characteristics of the original light. An aluminium mirror doesn’t break that easy as a mirror made from glass.
Aluminium mirror
- Aluminium mirror with rounded courners

- 7x7cm
- Set of 5 mirrors
- €3
Workshop: Refractometer,Kaleidoscope
Diffraction grating
Diffraction Gratings are used for the direct viewing and analysis of spectra from different gas tubes and other light sources. The quality of the spectrum produced from our gratings is the brightest possible with a minimum of distracting visual noise. Our gratings are the principal component in a spectroscope and are used for experiments pertaining to the study of light and color.
- 1000 lines/mm
- Set of 5 gratings
- €3
Workshop: Kaleidoscope, Basic spectrometer
Polarisers
A polarizer is an optical filter that lets light waves of a specific polarization pass and blocks light waves of other polarizations.
