Raybox Slit Plates (Product Code: SLE/PHY/285) is a pack of raybox accessories used to shape the lamp’s light into narrow rays for ray optics experiments in school physics laboratories. The pack holds 2 plates, each 84 mm long, 50 mm wide and 1 mm thick, so teachers can keep a spare with every raybox. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, for optics experiment kits in schools.

A raybox on its own gives a broad patch of light; a slit plate placed in the raybox opening turns it into thin, clearly defined rays that students can trace on paper. With those rays they study reflection at plane and curved mirrors, refraction through glass blocks and prisms, total internal reflection, and how converging and diverging lenses bend parallel rays to a focus. Clear, narrow rays make angle measurements with a protractor far more accurate.
Because each plate is only 1 mm thick, handle it by the edges, keep it flat and store the pair together so neither gets bent or scratched. Darkening the room slightly and placing the raybox close to the paper gives the sharpest rays. Thin accessories like these are easily mislaid in busy classes, so a spare pack per laboratory keeps ray optics lessons running.
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, located in Ambala, Haryana, India. The company supplies Raybox Slit Plates as spares for existing rayboxes and as part of complete ray optics sets for schools, colleges and dealers, and can check fit against your raybox model before quoting.

What size are the Raybox Slit Plates?
Each of the Raybox Slit Plates is 84 mm long, 50 mm wide and 1 mm thick. Check that your raybox opening takes plates of this size, or send us the raybox model and we will confirm the fit.
How many plates come in a pack of Raybox Slit Plates?
Raybox Slit Plates are supplied as a pack of 2. Order one pack per raybox to replace lost or damaged plates, or extra packs to keep spares in the laboratory.
What are Raybox Slit Plates used for?
Raybox Slit Plates fit in front of a raybox lamp to produce narrow rays of light. Students use these rays to trace reflection, refraction, total internal reflection and lens focusing on paper during ray optics practicals.
How many slits does each of the Raybox Slit Plates have?
The slit pattern of the Raybox Slit Plates is not listed in our current product details. If you need a particular number of rays, tell us through the contact page and we will confirm what is available.
Who supplies the Raybox Slit Plates?
Raybox Slit Plates are supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India. We supply schools, colleges, institutions and dealers in India and international markets, as spares or with complete rayboxes.
