Gives students a glimpse into the world of optics, allowing them to investigate optical phenomena and experiments with light. The planetary model clearly demonstrates why the moon has phases or why solar and lunar eclipses occur. With the sun dial you can determine the time of day.
Optical lenses with various focal lengths, mirrors, lens tip lamps and a variety of other parts allow construction of a microscope, magnifier, telescope and periscope. With the periscope you can look around corners and the microscope makes tiny objects really big!
The model with optical fiber demonstrates what total reflection is and how data can be transferred using light.
Since the demonstrator could cover more than one didactical unit, the topic of planetary model (one didactical unit) was selected for the needs of the first phase of application.
