Quick Answer: The Optical Bench Half Shaper is a physics apparatus for aligning lenses, mirrors, screens, light sources and object holders on a stable optical path for focal length and image formation experiments.
Last updated: October 2026
Key Features
Half-shaper bench gives a stable platform for movable riders and optical holders.
Lets optical components be aligned on a common axis.
Used to measure object distance, image distance, focal length and magnification.
Supports lens formula, mirror formula and image formation work.
Object and image positions are read from the bench scale.
About This Product
Riders and holders are fitted on the bench, and the object, lens or mirror and screen are aligned along the same axis. Positions read from the bench scale are used to calculate focal length, magnification or image distance. Typical practicals include finding the focal length of convex lenses and concave mirrors, verifying the lens formula and studying real and virtual image formation. Export supply of the Optical Bench Half Shaper can be arranged to laboratories and schools in Ecuador, Belize, Guinea-Bissau, Syria and Moldova.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How is a sharp image located on the bench? Move the lens, mirror or screen slowly along the bench until a sharp image forms, then read the object and image positions from the bench scale.
