Prism, Clear Glass (Product Code: SLE/PHY/114) is an equilateral glass prism used to show refraction, deviation and the dispersion of white light into a spectrum in school and college physics labs. Measuring 50 x 50 mm with 60-degree angles, it has optically worked surfaces, slightly bevelled edges and bubble-free glass. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India, as prism glass for labs across India.

The classic school practical places the prism on a sheet of paper pinned to a drawing board, draws its outline and uses sighting pins to trace a ray through it. By repeating the tracing for several angles of incidence, students plot angle of deviation against angle of incidence and read off the minimum deviation, from which the refractive index of the glass can be calculated.
Held in a beam of sunlight or a bright white source, the same prism splits the light into a visible spectrum on a white screen, a memorable way to introduce dispersion. With a laser pointer, students can also find the angle at which light is totally internally reflected at the second face. The slightly bevelled edges make the prism comfortable to handle, but keep the working faces free of fingerprints.
This 60-degree prism is one of the optical items ScienceLab, the brand of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, makes at its licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. As the OEM, the company sells it directly to schools, colleges, dealers and importers, so quotations, class-set orders and replacement prisms are handled by the maker itself — just ask us.

What are the angles and size of the Prism, Clear Glass?
The Prism, Clear Glass is an equilateral prism with angles of 60 x 60 x 60 degrees and dimensions of 50 x 50 mm. This size gives enough face area for pin-tracing experiments on a drawing board and for projecting a spectrum.
Is the glass free from bubbles?
Yes. The Prism, Clear Glass is described as high quality glass with optically worked surfaces, free from bubbles. Bubble-free glass avoids stray scattering, so traced rays and projected spectra appear cleaner for students to observe and record.
Why are the edges bevelled?
The edges of the Prism, Clear Glass are slightly bevelled, which removes sharp corners. This makes the prism more comfortable for students to handle and helps reduce chipping when it is placed on benches or stored with other optical components.
Which experiments can be done with this prism?
With the Prism, Clear Glass, students can trace refraction with pins, plot deviation against angle of incidence, find minimum deviation and refractive index, project a spectrum of white light, and study total internal reflection using a narrow beam such as a laser pen.
Who manufactures the Prism, Clear Glass?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, is the OEM that manufactures the Prism, Clear Glass at its own factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. It is supplied direct to schools, colleges, dealers and importers.
Can you supply class sets for export?
Yes. The Prism, Clear Glass can be ordered in class-set quantities for schools and dealers in India and international markets. Send the number of prisms and your destination through the contact page, and the manufacturer will reply with a quotation.
