Description

Summary This is an lens holder for optical experiments. This component is part of the Open-source optics project (http://www.appropedia.org/Open_source_optics), whose goal is to radically reduce the cost of scientific optical hardware: by the [Michigan Tech's Open Sustainability Technology Research Group]( http://www.mse.mtu.edu/MOST (http://www.mse.mtu.edu/MOST)).
