Adventures
in Fiber Optics Kit
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 its 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 scientists and business people.
With this kit anyone
can follow the exploits of famous experimenters such as Galileo, Franklin,
Tyndall and Gould, begin to explore fiber optics starting with the very
basics and learn more about the fascinating potential of fiber optical
technology. Requires no electronics or optics experience.
The kit is suggested
for ages 10 and above. It contains materials and an instruction manual
to complete five unique projects and 20 exciting experiments such as:
