We developed a very easy-to-use setup to demonstrate single lens imaging and magnification.
The Bill of Materials is always the most up-to-date version!
| Name | Properties | Price | Link | # |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Baseplate puzzle | - | 5€ | Base-plate | 3 |
| Module: Lens Cube | - | 20 € | Lens | 1 |
| Module: Sample Holder Cube | - | 10 € | Sample holder | 1 |
To acquire the STL-files use the UC2-Configurator. The files themselves are in the RAW folder. The module can be built using injection-moulded (IM) or 3D-printed (3DP) cubes.

- Diapositiv or any other image on a translucent medium, you can for example draw something on a microscope slide or a foil
For assembly instructions of the respective modules refer to the links in Modules for this setup.
The Lens Equation tells us that the image is not formed anywhere - its position depends on the position of the object and the focal length of the lens:
1/f' = 1/s1 + 1/s2
The magnification is given by
M = h2/h1 = s2/s1
When using a lens as a projecor, the image is always inverted, magnified and real.
The projector is also a part of the SimpleBOX. Find out more about in the SimpleBOX manuals
