Plastic Optical Lens Mount

Product Code : SCL-LAO-11267

The Plastic Optical Lens Mount is a laboratory accessory used for holding and positioning an optical lens during light, refraction, focal-length, and image-formation experiments. It is intended for students, physics teachers, school laboratories, colleges, STEM classrooms, and educational institutions requiring a stable and reusable lens support.

Product Description

The Plastic Optical Lens Mount supports an optical lens in a defined position so that light rays can pass through the lens during classroom demonstrations and practical experiments. A correctly positioned lens helps students observe refraction, convergence, divergence, focal points, and real or virtual image formation.

The mount has a plastic construction intended for educational handling. Its exact plastic grade, lens-holding mechanism, compatible lens diameter, base design, and optical-bench compatibility must be confirmed from the current production specification. The mount should be selected according to the diameter and thickness of the lens used in the experiment.

Key Features

• Stable lens positioning: Holds an optical lens in place during supervised optics experiments.
• Plastic construction: Provides a lightweight alternative to conventional metal lens holders.
• Hands-on learning: Supports direct observation of refraction, focal length, magnification, and image formation.
• Reusable laboratory accessory: Suitable for repeated demonstrations and student practical sessions.
• Simple setup: Allows a lens to be inserted, aligned, and removed without complex preparation.
• Classroom application: Suitable for school physics laboratories, STEM activities, and teacher demonstrations.
• Optical alignment support: Helps maintain the lens in an upright position relative to the object, screen, or light source.

How to Use the Plastic Optical Lens Mount

1. Place the mount on a stable laboratory surface or compatible optical bench.
2. Check that the selected lens matches the confirmed diameter and thickness range of the mount.
3. Insert the lens without forcing its edge against the holder.
4. Secure the retaining ring, clip, or fastening mechanism without overtightening it.
5. Align the centre of the lens with the light source, object, and screen.
6. Move the mount or other optical components until the required ray path or focused image is obtained.
7. Record the object distance, image distance, or focal-length observation required by the experiment.

Safety note: Handle lenses by their edges. Do not force an oversized lens into the mount, as excessive pressure may damage the lens or plastic holder. Use under teacher or laboratory supervision.

Care & Maintenance

• Remove the lens before cleaning or storing the mount.
• Wipe the plastic surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
• Keep the holder away from excessive heat, impact, and aggressive solvents.
• Store it in a dry container so the retaining parts are not bent or misplaced.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Plastic Optical Lens Mount used for?

It is used to hold an optical lens in a stable position during refraction, focal-length, magnification, and image-formation experiments.

Does the lens mount include an optical lens?

The inclusion of a lens has not been confirmed. Buyers should verify whether the product is supplied as a holder only or with a lens.

What lens diameter can the mount hold?

The compatible lens diameter is not confirmed in the available product data. Match the mount to the lens diameter and thickness before ordering.

Can it hold both convex and concave lenses?

It may hold either lens type when the lens dimensions match the mount. Compatibility should be confirmed for the required lenses.

Is the lens mount compatible with an optical bench?

Optical-bench compatibility depends on the mount’s base or support-stem dimensions. Confirm these dimensions against the intended bench or carrier.

Is it suitable for school physics laboratories?

Yes. The mount is suitable for supervised school and college experiments involving lenses, refraction, focal length, and image formation.
