Note: The 1008530 SEK Optics is for operation with a mains voltage of 115 V (±10%), and the 1008531 set is for operation with a mains voltage of 230 V (±10%).

Set of equipment for carrying out 38 student experiments on optics. Comes with comprehensive student and instructor experiment manuals and instructions. In a tough plastic tray containing a foam insert with cut-outs for the equipment and featuring a transparent lid. The experiments are designed to be compact but still easy to see when set up and carried out on the supplied optical bench or the SEK base plate (1000789 / U8408035). In both cases, the optical components are attached in non-slip fashion by magnets. Supplied overlays designate where the components are to be placed.
