Plastic Lens Holder
Product Code : SCL-LAO-11101
Quick answer: The Plastic Lens Holder holds a lens upright and steady so that its position can be measured during optics experiments, such as finding the focal length of a convex lens on an optical bench. It is made of lightweight plastic and takes the convex, concave and other lenses used in school and college practicals. Lab Exports manufactures it in Delhi for schools, colleges and universities.

How it is used
Almost every lens experiment depends on knowing exactly where the lens is. In the u-v method for the focal length of a convex lens, the lens sits in its holder between an object, such as a lit cross-wire or a pin, and a screen; the distances u and v are read from the bench scale and the focal length follows from 1/f = 1/v - 1/u. A holder that keeps the lens upright and fixed makes those readings repeatable.
The same holder serves when a concave lens is combined with a convex lens to find its focal length, and for simple telescope and magnifier set-ups on the bench.
- Seat the lens in the holder so that it stands vertical.
- Place the holder on the bench between the object and the screen.
- Slide the screen until a sharp image forms and note the positions.
- Repeat for several object distances and average the calculated focal lengths.
