Hollow Equilateral Prism Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : SCL-OS-12889
The Educational Instrument Hollow Equilateral Prism is a hollow glass prism designed to contain transparent liquids while maintaining an optical path for refraction and dispersion studies. It allows students to compare how different liquids bend light and calculate refractive constants using standard prism methods.
The prism is made from optically transparent borosilicate glass plates with precision-fused or chemical-resistant bonding. Its equilateral form is listed in 38 × 38 × 38 mm or 50 × 50 × 50 mm sizes, making it suitable for spectrometer work, minimum-deviation experiments, and advanced classroom demonstrations.
Key Features
Hollow equilateral design allows liquid samples to be used as the optical medium.
Optically transparent borosilicate glass plates support clear light transmission.
Available in 38 × 38 × 38 mm or 50 × 50 × 50 mm equilateral formats.
Stoppered or open-top aperture supports fluid admittance during experiments.
Useful for refractive index, minimum deviation, dispersion, and prism optics practicals.
Precision-fused or chemically resistant construction supports routine laboratory handling.
Suitable for school, college, university, vocational, and STEM optics laboratories.

How to Use the Hollow Equilateral Prism
Clean the prism exterior and check that the hollow cavity is dry and free from residue.
Fill the prism carefully with the selected transparent liquid through the top aperture.
Close the aperture with the stopper if the supplied model includes one.
Place the prism on a spectrometer table or stable optical bench setup.
Direct a narrow beam of light through one prism face and observe the emergent ray.
Rotate the prism to find the position of minimum deviation.
Record the prism angle, deviation angle, and calculate the refractive index of the liquid.
Safety note: use only compatible liquids approved by the laboratory supervisor. Avoid corrosive or volatile fluids unless the experiment and handling procedure are specifically approved.
Care & Maintenance
Empty and rinse the prism after use according to the liquid handled.
Dry the hollow cavity before storage to prevent deposits or staining.
Handle the prism by the edges and avoid pressure on bonded faces.
Store in a padded optics box away from heat, chemicals, vibration, and scratches.
