How to See Small Things Part I: Optical Transform Kit

How to See Small Things Part I: Optical Transform Kit

This presentation is a product of the University of Wisconsin Institute for Chemical Education (ICE). Included in your kit is a presentation manual with directions. For further information please check here.

This presentation will guide you through simulating diffraction experiments in introductory courses.

In your kit there are four diffraction slides, one red laser, one green laser, and one mini-Maglite (white light source).

Follow the guided procedure outlined in the manual to begin testing X-ray diffraction.

Test each of the diffraction slides.

Reference the manual for background information, follow-up questions, and further resources for your class!
