Function To study the phosphorescence. | |||
|
|||
Description We have three flat tubes closed and filled with phosphorescent substances that show a different colour. The phosphorescence is brighter and more durable when the substances are excited by a light rich of UV radiation or X rays. |

Function To study the fluorescence. | |||
|
|||
Description On a rectangular wooden frame we have eight glass tubes which hold fluorescent liquids. The ensemble is completed by two wooden planes hinged on the frame. They are used to protect the tubes. If the liquids are exposed to the light, they give radiations of different colours with very beautiful effects. |

Description A little bench supports some cursors with an elastic fork on a trapezoidal slide guide. They are used as support to the lenses and diaphragms. A legend indicates the position and the distance on which the single parts are placed. The reference is facilitated by the lateral metric scale. It is opportune to use a fine metallic net or a small slide as object. |

Function To study the functioning of the telescope. | |||
|
|||
Description A bench is used as support. The spring forks can receive equally the lenses and diaphragms added to the apparatus, because the 4 cm diameter is the same for all. Directions with an image indicate the position of the single pieces to realize the different combinations (Galilean telescope, long and short; terrestrial and astronomical telescope). |

Function Functioning of Porros prismatic telescope. | |||
|
|||
Description The apparatus shows clearly the path of the rays due to the different reflections and shows the way of forcing a big focal distance into a small format. The total internal reflection prisms are substituted by two couples of flat mirrors placed at right angle and with an inclination of 45 degrees considering the horizontal and vertical stretch of the rays. |

Function To learn the use of the microscope. | |||
|
|||
Description The instrument, in brass, is formed by two converging lenses, one called eyepiece on which the observer poses his eye. The other lens is the objective, directed towards the object to be observed. We can change the distance between the two lenses until we obtain a clear image. The objective is formed by a converging lens with a smoll focal distance and for this it produces an inverted, reduced and real image. If this image is formed at a shorter distance from the focal distance of the eyepiece, we obtain a right-side up, magnified and virtual image. The image is inverted compared to the object. It is demountable and is given with a wooden case. |

|
|||
Description The apparatus is made of a brass tube at the end of which we have the objective and the eyepiece. The tube is tied with a hinge to a pole that stand on a tripod. The objective is formed by a converging lens with a great focal distance and for this it produces an inverted, reduced and real image . If this image is formed at a shorter distance from the focal distance of the eyepiece, we obtain a right-side up, magnified and virtual image. The image is inverted compared to the object. |

|||
Function For the graphic reproduction of objects. | |||
|
|||
Description The apparatus is formed by a vertical pole on whose top a prism and two lenses are placed. If we place the eye on a certain position, the images of two different zones get one over the other. If the object to reproduce is placed on one of these zones and the point of the pencil of the drawer is placed on the other zone, the drawer can follow the edges of the object to reproduce. |

Function For the graphic reproduction of objects. | |||
|
|||
Description It is formed by a brass cylinder inside which a prism with the rounded sides is placed. It can rotate on its horizontal axis. The inner side of the cylinder is closed with a cover. On the lateral surface there is a hole across which the images from the outside are collected. These are deviated across the prism towards the base of the cylinder and projected on a sheet, placed horizontally, on which we can trace the edges of the image. The ensemble stands on a wooden basis with tripod and tent so that it is possible to create a camera obscura. |

Description (1) We have a little camera obscura with an objective and a screen. The ensemble is made of brass and stand on an iron tripod. By changing the distance between the objective and the screen we can obtain the situation of a far-sighted, normal or short-sighted eye. In the case of the far-sighted or short-sighted eye we can obtain a neat image on the screen by placing on of the two additional lenses placed outside of the eye before the objective. |
