Complete experimental system for polarized light

Item Code: SN1092

Working and Principle :

This experiment helps students understand the concept and
mechanism of polarization. It can be used to measure 
different types of polarization and the working parameters of optical elements involved. The system is a manual operation mode to help the student understand polarization principles by their operation.
