This oversized acrylic lens set has a magnetic backing for mounting to a whiteboard for large physics classroom demonstrations of lasers and optics when paired with our Laser Blox Ray Box Set. 

Includes six magnetic lenses and prisms about 8" long each:

  • Double convex lens
  • Double concave lens
  • Single convex lens
  • Single concave lens
  • Semi-circular lens
  • Equilateral prism with 75 mm sides

Comes with a hard wooden case and soft foam cut-outs to keep your lenses and prisms protected between activities. The included printed booklet gives basic lessons, equations, and principles for refraction and focal distance experiments.

For a smaller, lower-cost, non-magnetic option, you can look at our Acrylic Lens 3-pack.

Magnets are not strong enough to keep lenses from sliding down whiteboard

The kit itself is massive. Lots of lenses: positive, negative, one for teaching about total internal reflection, etc. The problem is they weigh too much to attach to our teaching lab's classroom whiteboard. We still have optical tables that we can use for a horizontal surface, but ordered them so that we could do the demonstrations in the vertical direction in front of a classroom of students. :( We will still get use out of them, but for the price it would have been nice to use our existing whiteboard.

Hi Jennifer, thank you for your feedback! Indeed, the lenses are quite heavy but I'm very surprised they didn't work on your white board. We've tested them on at least 5 different white boards, including some very thin and cheap ones from Target that we use at trade shows (shown in the photos on the page). In all cases they've stuck plenty well to hold their place. We can certainly accept a return if they are not working for you. If you have other whiteboard options (including portable ones) I would definitely encourage you to try those as well.
