Uses of the reading telescope

In the telescope-and-scale method the telescope is focused on a scale seen in a small mirror, so a tiny rotation of the mirror shows as a large change in the reading at the cross-line.

  • Telescope-and-scale readings of small deflections, for example with a mirror galvanometer
  • Reading a distant scale in elasticity (Young's modulus) experiments
  • Sighting a cross-line on a fixed mark in B.Sc. physics practicals

Scope of supply and ordering

Each reading telescope is supplied on its own; the retort stand and clamp for mounting are separate, and the specification chosen, quantity, packing and lead time are fixed on the quotation.
