This demonstrations optics set uses a Laser Ray Box. The Laser Ray Box projects 5 parallel laser beams onto any flat surface.

The ray box has a magnetic back for mounting on any steel board.

This includes 6 templates that have guidelines showing where to put components to perform different demonstrations, including: modeling the human eye and eyeglasses, how a camera works, two types of telescopes, spherical aberration, refraction and reflection.
