Philip Harris Xenon Stroboscope
Philip Harris Xenon Stroboscope
Product code: HE1008428
Product Description
If something is spinning, oscillating or vibrating very fast, how can you see it? A stroboscope gives the illusion of slowing down, freezing, or even reversing the action.
This robust, light-weight stroboscope is ideal for classroom work with vibrations and waves. It features a bright xenon tube that is effective even in low ambient light, meaning complete blackout is not necessary.
Control of flash frequency is by way of intuitive controls, in the range 0.2-300Hz. Coarse adjustment can be done by the multiplier buttons and fine adjustment can be done either by up and down buttons or by analogue-style dial. An external signal can be used instead, such as a signal generator or manual trigger. The unit resets to 1Hz for safety when switched on.
A large LED display shows the frequency setting when using the internal modulator, and will display the frequency of the incoming signal if the external trigger is used. The unit features a carrying handle and is powered via a mains lead.
It is an excellent aid when doing experiments with the Vibration Generator and Accessories, or ripple tanks. Watch musical instruments deform as they're played, and measure the speed of objects as they move through space.
- Frequency Range: 0.2-300Hz
- Flash tube intensity: approximately 10,000 lux
- Coarse & Fine Adjustment
- Mains Powered
- Superior quality glass reflector and polycarbonate front cover.
- Rapid frequency modulation.
- Automatic pattern tracing when selected to the external triggering operation mode.
- Dual frequency to double current operating frequency for coarse adjustment and half frequency current reduction
- Fine and coarse adjustment.
- Current triggering frequency trimming.
- Automatic flash stop function, which reduces power consumption and lengthens the service life of the Xenon flash tube. Also: when using frequencies from .2 to 180 Hz continuous operation is permitted as the tube is protected by internal circuitry.
- Xenon flash tubes can be easily installed in the event of a tube failure.
- Efficient internal overheating protection. Power is automatically restored once the working temperature decreases to the correct temperature.
- Note: When using high flash rates above 180Hz, flash cycle times should be limited to 2 minutes or less to conserve Xenon flash tube life. This helps to prevent overheating and/or burn out as the ionization rates become excessive at high frequencies (>180Hz).
