Product Summary

This accessory adds a central platform and diffuser to the Polarizer Demonstrator (OS-9477A). Put sugar water in one of the two supplied square glass bottles and put it on the platform between crossed polarizers. Use a desk lamp or Color Mixer (OS-8496) behind the diffuser and rotate one of the polarizers to see the sugar water change colors as the axis of polarization of different colors rotates to different angles.
