[To all users]
Possible to emit a linear ray well-defined enough even in a classroom of normal illumination level because of the built-in high-brightness red LED and the tank with colored water inside.
[To teachers]
Portable because dry cell battery is the power source.
Students’ safety is secured because LED is used for the light source that is much less harmful for eyes than laser.
Easy to manage students’ activities because experiments can be carried in a classroom of normal illumination level (with lights on).
[To students]
Suitable for students’ experiment because of its tank size (φ90mm).
Refraction tank is equipped with rubber magnets on the back side to be fitted on a whiteboard, therefore, students can make their own presentation using the tank on the whiteboard.
Ray unit is on the same board of the tank, so student can tilt the tank to observe light refraction and reflection appears inside.
