SimpleBOX, equipped with passive components only, covers the basic experiments of ray optics. It is compact and cheap and therefore can be handed to children of all age. It completely covers the classical optics experiments of 7th-8th grade with an overhang to the high school experiments.
That's how it could look like:
Useful for Workshops. Get back to us if you want to organize one together with us!
Coming soon: MiniBOX with 8 cubes only but the same amount of experiments as the SimpleBOX! Price is reduced, effect remains.
A list of 3D-printed parts and necessary components is found in BUILD_ME, together with assembly guidelines and some printing tips and tricks.
What can you build with the SimpleBOX?
LINK Simple one lens projector. Direct illumination. 4× magnification for f(L) = +40 mm, object to lens 50 mm and lens to screen 200 mm.
LINK Three classical telescope principles. 2× magnification for f(L1) = +100 mm, f(L2) = +50 mm, f(L3) = -50 mm.
LINK Trasmission microscope, uses smartphone for image acquisition. LED array serves as light source - different illumination modes possible.
You also find some education material and more about the setups in DOCUMENTs in ENGLISH, GERMAN, FRENCH and CZECH.
If you have a cool idea, please don't hesitate to write us a line, we are happy to incorporate it in our design to make it even better.
