Xenon Stroboscope (Product Code: SLE/PHY/322) is a stroboscopic lamp, also called a revolution calibration meter, used to freeze fast rotating or vibrating motion and calculate its speed in physics labs, engineering workshops and industrial settings. Its xenon flash is triggered from 0.2 to 300 Hz, internally or externally, and a 7-segment LED display shows the flashing frequency in real time, making it a practical test and measuring instrument. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

When the flash rate matches the speed of a rotating or vibrating object, the object is lit in the same position each time and appears to stand still; set the rate slightly off and it seems to move slowly forwards or backwards. Turning the encoder until a fan blade, motor shaft or vibrating string appears frozen lets students read the frequency from the display and work out the rotational speed of an object whose speed was unknown.
In physics lessons the stroboscope freezes ripple-tank waves, standing waves on strings and falling water drops, and the frozen motion can be photographed with a standard digital camera. Workshops use it the same way to check machine speeds without touching moving parts. Warn the group before use, since flashing light can affect people who are sensitive to it, and never judge a machine safe to touch because it looks stationary.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, supplies the Xenon Stroboscope from Ambala, Haryana, India to schools, colleges, technical institutes, dealers and importers. We source the instrument and ship it with its operating instructions to buyers in India and international markets; tell us your mains and triggering needs when you enquire.

Apparatus often used with the Xenon Stroboscope:
More measuring and demonstration apparatus is listed under Physics Lab Equipment.
What frequency range does the Xenon Stroboscope cover?
The Xenon Stroboscope triggers from 0.2 to 300 Hz, using either its internal control or an external signal, with 0.2 to 180 Hz recommended for regular use. The current flash frequency is shown in real time on its 7-segment LED display.
How does the Xenon Stroboscope measure speed?
The Xenon Stroboscope measures speed by matching its flash rate to a moving object. When the object appears stationary, the displayed flash frequency equals its rate of rotation or vibration, so the speed of an object with unknown movement can be calculated.
Can the Xenon Stroboscope be triggered externally?
Yes. The Xenon Stroboscope accepts an external 5 to 12V pulse signal for triggering across the same 0.2 to 300 Hz range. Check that your sensor or signal source can deliver a pulse in that range before connecting it.
What power supply does the Xenon Stroboscope need?
The Xenon Stroboscope is listed for AC220V ± 5% at 1.2A, with maximum power consumption of less than 8W. If your mains supply differs, tell us when you enquire so we can confirm what arrangement is possible before quoting.
Who supplies the Xenon Stroboscope?
The Xenon Stroboscope is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, to schools, colleges, technical institutes and trade buyers. We supply it with complete operating instructions to customers in India and international markets.
Is a calibration certificate available for the Xenon Stroboscope?
Calibration documentation for the Xenon Stroboscope is not part of the listing. If your laboratory needs a calibration certificate, please raise it through the contact page before ordering so we can tell you what can be arranged.
To request a quotation for the Xenon Stroboscope, send the quantity, your mains voltage and delivery location through the contact page, or add it to the enquiry cart with any companion apparatus.
