Front Silvered Glass Mirrors

Front Silvered Glass Mirrors

Front silvered mirrors avoid the double reflections which you get with normal rear-silvered mirrors where light is reflected off the front surface of the glass as well as the silvered surface. Warning: Handle with care as they are susceptible to scratching although the silvering is protected by a vacuum deposited quartz coating.

Polarising Film
Quantity Required:

Polarising Film

Part No.: OPF0001

Price: £5.99

Linearly polarised film for reducing reflections or for polarisation experiments (e.g. view stress patterns in plastic items). Transmissivity: single sheet = 42%, 2 sheets crossed polaristation = <0.15%. Thickness 0.14mm. Sheet 100mm x 50mm (makes two 50 x 50mm pieces).
We can also supply this to order in sheets 350mm wide cut to the length you require (in 100mm increments) at £29.35 per 100mm.

Diffraction Grating
Quantity Required:

Diffraction Grating

Part No.: OPF0002

Price: £7.99

An experimental kit comprising 3 different transmission diffraction grating pieces.
1 x Single-axis diffraction grating (1000 lines per mm) .
1 x Single-axis diffraction grating (500 lines per mm) .
1 x Twin-axis diffraction grating (532 lines per mm) .
The high line density produces a wide coloured spectrum of the observed or projected light source similar to a prism. Make a hand spectroscope. Each piece is 15.2 x 3.8cm which is sufficient for four 35mm slides (4 self-adhesive slide mounts included)
Larger sizes of all three gratings are available on request.

Optical Illusion Plastic
Quantity Required:

Optical Illusion Plastic

Part No.: CDT0249

Price: £3.99

This plastic sheet is less than 1mm thick but it is engraved so that it looks as though it is much thicker. Objects placed on the sheet appear to sink below the surface. A4 sheet.

Glow in the Dark Paper
Quantity Required:

Glow in the Dark Paper

Part No.: CDT0245

Price: £7.99

Self-Adhesive Photophorescent paper. A4 sheet. This paper is coated with a phosphorescent material which glows in the dark after exposure to light. You can cut out any shapes you like (e.g. direction arrows, faces, stars and comets, etc.) and stick them where required.
