What You'll Learn

Begin with the basics: learn how to find the focal length of a simple lens and understand the foundational concepts of optics. Progress through increasingly complex setups to build and analyze optical systems:

• Telescopes: Understand magnification and field of view.
• Microscopes: Create your first microscope and explore finite vs. infinite-corrected setups.
• Digital Integration: Use your smartphone to capture and analyze data.

This kit is the foundation for all other openUC2 modules, giving you ample components to experiment, tinker, and build your own optical systems.
