Industrial Fiber Optics offers, for educational use, laser pointers that produce either green or red light. The pointers are CDRH-compliant and bear all required regulatory labels. Our product line is unique because we offer the CDRH Class II rated devices which are not available from others. (Class II lasers have a maximum peak power of 1 milliwatt [mW] in the visible range — the highest class rating that many school systems permit.)

The IF 560 is seen by many as the best laser pointer for the value. It produces a bright red laser beam of 645 nm light with a nominal power of 3 mW which is more than enough brightness for most common optical experiments and presentations. It is CDRH Class IIIa rated device and includes all required safety devices and labels. A great educational tool to demonstrate some of the very basics of optical and laser technology at a fair price.

Includes carrying case and 2 AAA batteries.

Features:

  • Small size
  • High quality laser beam
  • Momentary On/Off switch for safety
  • Durable metal housing with scratch resistant coating
  • Battery powered for convenient and portable operation
  • Reasonable price

 

Suitable for experiments such as:

  • Viewing refraction in optical materials
  • Angle of incidence and reflection on mirror surfaces
  • Tyndall's light-guiding-in-water experiments
  • Scattering of light by small suspended particles
  • Critical angle determination in materials
  • Convergence and divergence in optical lenses

This pointer is also available as a CDRH Class II device.

The 645 nm laser emission wavelength is approximately 4 times optically brighter to the human eye than the 670 nm laser pointers, which are often sold at ridiculous low prices.
