PASCO OS-8458 Instruction Sheet

Introduction

PASCO models OS-8458 and OS-8525A are diode lasers
designed for use with PASCO Basic Optics systems. Each laser is
permanently mounted in a holder that can be snapped into a Basic
Optics bench or used freestanding on a tabletop. The holder
includes vertical and horizontal adjustment screws for fine-tun-
ing the angle of the laser beam. An included AC adapter provides
power.

Compatible Equipment

The laser can be used with PASCO Basic Optics equipment
including the Basic Optics System (OS-8515C), 120 cm Basic
Optics Bench (OS-8508), Diffraction Optics Kit (OS-8531), and
more. See the PASCO catalog or the on-line store at
www.pasco.com for a complete description of all Basic Optics
equipment.
