  1. Crossed Arrow Object with Metric Scale: Ideal for showing images, focal point, and magnification.
  2. Bright Point Source: The very small filament of the halogen bulb provides an excellent point source for experiments involving shadows or the Inverse Square Law.
  3. Three Primary Colors Source: The red, green, and blue filters produce three rays of light that can easily be combined with a lens to study color mixing.
  4. One, Three, or Five Ray Sources: Simply rotate the knob in front of the Light Source to vary the number of rays produced.
