Microwave Accessories Hollow Plano-convex Lens (Product Code: SLE/PHY/247) is a large liquid-filled lens used to focus microwaves and demonstrate the refraction of electromagnetic waves in school and college physics laboratories. It consists of a thin moulded plastic dome, 260 mm in diameter, bonded to a 3 mm thick plastic plate 315 mm square, held upright on a channel base and filled with paraffin oil when in use. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Placed between a microwave transmitter and receiver, the oil-filled lens converges the beam in the same way a glass lens converges light, so students can find a focus by moving the receiver until the signal peaks. It shows a class that microwaves and visible light obey the same laws of refraction, and it pairs naturally with the other microwave accessories for reflection, polarisation and prism work.
Microwaves have a far longer wavelength than light, so microwave lenses are built much larger than glass ones; the 260 mm dome also makes the idea of a focal point easy to show to a whole class. Fill the lens with paraffin oil on a level bench, make sure the channel base is stable before switching the transmitter on, and drain and wipe the lens before storing it. As optics lab equipment for the electromagnetic-spectrum topic, it helps bridge ray optics and wave physics.
This Microwave Accessories Hollow Plano-convex Lens is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, which acts as the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, colleges, dealers and importers that buy from ScienceLab receive the lens factory-direct, and quotations come from the maker itself. If you need a replacement lens or matching microwave accessories later, ask us directly; company details are on the ScienceLab profile.

How does the Microwave Accessories Hollow Plano-convex Lens focus microwaves?
The Microwave Accessories Hollow Plano-convex Lens focuses microwaves by refraction: filled with paraffin oil, its curved dome bends the waves so they converge, just as a glass lens converges light. Moving a receiver along the axis shows where the signal is strongest.
What are the dimensions of the Microwave Accessories Hollow Plano-convex Lens?
The Microwave Accessories Hollow Plano-convex Lens has a thin moulded plastic dome 260 mm in diameter, bonded to a 3 mm thick plastic plate that is 315 mm square. A channel base holds the lens in a vertical plane during experiments.
What liquid goes into the Microwave Accessories Hollow Plano-convex Lens?
The Microwave Accessories Hollow Plano-convex Lens is filled with paraffin oil when in use. The listing does not state that oil is included, so mention it in your enquiry if you would like ScienceLab to advise on or quote for the filling.
Who manufactures the Microwave Accessories Hollow Plano-convex Lens?
The Microwave Accessories Hollow Plano-convex Lens is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplied factory-direct to schools, colleges, dealers and importers.
What else is needed to use the Microwave Accessories Hollow Plano-convex Lens?
Using the Microwave Accessories Hollow Plano-convex Lens requires a microwave transmitter and receiver, paraffin oil for filling and a level bench. ScienceLab also lists a hollow prism, rotating protractor and set of plates for a fuller microwave optics practical.
What should a quotation request for the Microwave Accessories Hollow Plano-convex Lens include?
A quotation request for the Microwave Accessories Hollow Plano-convex Lens should state the quantity, whether a transmitter/receiver or other microwave accessories are needed, and your delivery location, so the manufacturer can reply with one complete quotation.
Ask for a manufacturer-direct price on the Microwave Accessories Hollow Plano-convex Lens (SLE/PHY/247) through the ScienceLab contact page, or add it to the enquiry cart with the rest of your microwave kit.
