Basic Optics System

A complete optics bench that includes all the components required to do introductory optics experiments.

See the Product Description for this item's included accessories.

See the Buying Guide for this item's required, recommended, and additional accessories.

Product Summary

The PASCO Basic Optics System is a comprehensive optics set that supports more than a dozen hands-on investigations right out of the box. A staple of university physics labs around the world, the Basic Optics System includes a suite of core optics equipment, such as a light source, optics bench, and lenses, as well as more advanced accessories that facilitate studies of both ray optics and geometric optics concepts. All the components, except for the bench, fit inside the included storage box.

  • Durable: Rigid aluminum optics bench and protective component holders ensure years of reliable use.   
  • Easy Alignment: Most of the components fit inside protective holders that snap directly onto the optics track, allowing students to make adjustments without re-aligning the system.
  • Multi-Purpose: The 4-in-1 Light Source serves as a bright point source, an illuminated crossed-arrow object, a primary-color source, and a ray box with up to five parallel rays.
  • Student-Friendly: The Optics Track is lined with built-in metric measuring tape that enables measurements to be made directly from the bench.
  • Expandable: The system is based on our durable Optics Track, 1.2 m, which easily expands to support student studies of diffraction, atomic spectra, polarization, and more.
  • Optics Track, 1.2 m: Snap components onto the track for hassle-free alignment. The built-in metric measuring tape allows measurements to be made directly from the optics bench.
  • Light Source: Use the included Light Source as a bright point source, an illuminated crossed-arrow object, a primary-color source, or a ray box with up to five parallel rays.
  • Lenses: Investigate optics concepts using four 50 mm diameter ground glass lenses, with focal lengths of +100, +200, +250, and -150 mm. The lenses are mounted in protective holders with a tab indicator located at the center of each lens.
  • Concave/Convex Mirror: Produce an image from this mounted 50 mm diameter concave mirror that focuses on the half-screen.
  • Adjustable Lens Holder: Easily mount lenses using the Adjustable Lens Holder, which holds any circular lens between 20 and 75 mm in diameter.
  • Ray Optics Kit: Explore ray optics with a variety of accessories, including concave/convex lenses, concave/convex/plane mirrors, an acrylic rhomboid prism for studying refraction, and a hollow lens for teaching the Lensmaker's equation. The transparent storage box doubles as a water tank for studies of air lenses in water.
  • Ray Table: Rotate this two-piece Ray Table to investigate Snell’s law or the law of reflection. Includes D-shaped acrylic lens for studies of reversibility, internal reflection, and dispersion.
  • Viewing Screen: Project images onto this white plastic screen for easy viewing. The screen’s position is read directly from the metric measuring tape that lines the optics bench.
  • Experiment Manual: Explore 17 lab-ready optics experiments, complete with teacher notes and sample data.
  • Storage Box: Everything fits neatly into the protective storage box, except for the 1.2 m Optics Track.

science background

What is light? Answer this question and more with a light experiment kit and optical products for kids! Light is a type of energy called electromagnetic radiation. This form of energy is also used in x-ray machines, microwaves, and radios. But the electromagnetic radiation that we can see is called visible light. Optics manipulate light by reflecting or bending it so we can see in different ways. Telescopes, microscopes, and kaleidoscopes all use lenses and mirrors as optics. With the engaging optics experiment kits above, you can teach elementary, middle school, and high school students about the incredible science of light! Explore the variety of optics kits and products (some of which are bestsellers) above to begin your investigation of light and optical components. Get an optic bench kit and experiment with a concave lens and convex lens; use inexpensive binoculars for terrestrial and lunar viewing; learn about the functionality of a spectroscope and how it uses diffraction grating to break the light down into its color components; and so much more! Shop a selection of educational light and optics supplies. Find magnifying glasses, laser items, a radiometer "solar engine," a light spectra analysis kit, and more! Look for bulk discount pricing on science supplies in quantities of 10 or more.

We get it. Science can be messy. But Home Science Tools' products and service can handle it.

Our products are durable, reliable, and affordable to take you from the field to the lab to the kitchen. They won't let you down, no matter what they're up against. Whether it's (over)eager young scientists year after year, or rigorous requirements that come once-in-a lifetime.

And if your science inquiry doesn't go as expected, you can expect our customer service team to help. Count on friendly voices at the other end of the phone and expert advice in your inbox. They're not happy until you are.

Bottom line? We guarantee our products and service won't mess up your science study—no matter how messy it gets.
