Nice Optical Glass Prism

OK, it's a nice, hefty glass prism, and it's packed in a very nice foamed plastic box. Build a periscope with a pair or just mess around with the classic optical effects of a prism. This should be the start of your optical toy collection.

Great price, great product

Took about a week of trying around various ways to get a decent rainbow out of this, but today I got the one pictured on a wall about 10 feet in front of me in full daylight, so that's not bad at all. I'm excited to see what I can achieve a week or two from now. The second picture is how the light and prism where oriented, if you want to try to replicate it. The glass looks and feels amazingly solid, and comes in a nice box. You really can't go wrong with this one.

I used this as a demonstration after learning about light, light energy, and the spectrum of colors within light (2nd grade classroom). I was able to show them the rainbow spectrum on the ceiling using a flashlight and shining the light on the edge of the prism. They were mesmerized. It gave them a real grasp of what we had been discussing.

great prism

beautifully packaged in a padded box, very high quality optical finish, neatly beveled edges, one of the larger equilateral prisms available. highly recommended for students in optics or physics, and for the amateur who wants to explore the hues of the visible spectrum.

Of course, my daughter tells me 2 nights before she needed a prism for a project! Luckily, with Amazon Prime I got it the very next day. We took the advice from another person who commented and she aimed the flashlight down on the edge of the prism while sitting on a mirror. My daughter told me she was able to get the rainbow she needed (though small) for her project.

Everything under the sun is in tune....

I had no specific use for a prism other than sheer curiosity after finding the one I had 25-30 years ago as a kid. It was acrylic and a bit dulled up, like what happens to car headlights. This came in the mail promptly. It IS solid glass and is much more solid. I was using a small AA Maglite to try to get a spectrum Dark Side of the Moon style and what I got was... ok. The next day, I held it in the direct sunlight of a window and it gave off a deep, brilliant spectrum. The colors were enhanced beautifully from the red to the indigo and violet. I held it side by side with my old acrylic one and the glass prism definitely worked much nicer. I imagine that being glass, it would scratch or break easily, so it does come in a padded storage box with a soft liner. Glad I purchased it. Pretty cool conversation piece. Supposedly, a right angle prism works nicely too and I may jump on one too.

Works great

It arived fast and undamaged. Also its a prism it needs to be done right.

Roy G. Biv!

This was bought for a young boy old enough to know to be careful to experiment with light refraction. I just couldn't see buying him the poor quality resin prisms and this is priced well within my budget range. Excellent quality glass, very nice storage/gift box.

Works well!

Got this for my grandson who loves rainbows. When his mom showed him how it worked he sais "Now I can have rainbows all the time!"

Lovely rainbow! Wish I bought a longer one for a larger rainbow.
