High precision interferometer designed for advanced or college physics students to observe interference of monochromatic and white light in a thin film, to measure the wavelength of monochromatic light, and to observe multiple-beam interference. The included Michelson and Fabry-Pérot accessories feature high quality first surface mirrors and optically flat substrates. Each system consists of a group of fixed components that attaches to the unit's base and a moveable mirror that fits into a carriage driven by precision head screws. A reduction gearbox and readout allows accurate position determination.

The Michelson and Fabry-Pérot Interferometer is a general purpose precision interference instrument with interchangeable open construction optical arrangements for 2 interference systems. Includes instruction manual that contains sample activities and sample data. Use with various light sources, such as a laser, sodium lamp, or incandescent light (not supplied).
