Optics Upgrade 2 - code: 4944.20

The advanced upgrade on geometric optics. The Optics Upgrade 2 completes the equipment for geometric optics studies. The kit demonstrates refraction and reflection of light using an Hartl disk, and introduces composition of the colours of light. The optical bench is based on Altay Track.
