A Volumetric Flask as a Projector
Limsuwan, P.; Asanithi, P.; Thongpool, V.; Piriyawong, V.; Limsuwan, S.
Physics Education, v47 n2 p155-161 Mar 2012
A lens based on liquid in the confined volume of a volumetric flask was presented as a potential projector to observe microscopic floating organisms or materials. In this experiment, a mosquito larva from a natural pond was selected as a demonstration sample. By shining a light beam from a laser pointer of any visible wavelength through the volumetric flask filled with liquid, the movements of floating objects were clearly observed on a screen. The magnification was simply controlled by changing either the volume of the flask or the distance of the screen from the flask. (Contains 2 tables and 7 figures.)
