Not long
ago, fiber optics was little more than a laboratory curiosity...
Physicists and
scientists in research labs were the only people doing much work in this
field. In the last 20 years, all that has changed. From the obscure
beginnings in the back of a lab, fiber optics has become an important and
rapidly changing technology. It employs many of the world's brightest
individuals and scientists.
With the Adventures in
Fiber Optics Kit, students learn by doing. The kit contains 25 different
experiments, plus 5 unique projects. Each activity contains step-by-step
instructions and an explanation of the results as well as historical facts
or scientific trivia on fiber optics. Kit includes: penlight, rubber light
hood, 6 different optical fiber types, Ulexite fiber optic rock, 3 coherent
fiber optic components, colored filters, lens, star/constellation map,
polishing film and other miscellaneous components.
