Gold Leaf Electroscope

This gold leaf electroscope is great for hands on experience with electrostatic principles in physics classrooms and labs. The solidly constructed sheet aluminium walls of the electroscope are mounted on an insulating plastic base. The front and back glass windows slide up to allow access to the gold leaf, or for the introduction of an ionising material. A transparent scale is attached inside the chamber, to allow the deflection of the gold leaf to be measured. Supplied with two gold leaf sheets. Fitted with 4 mm socket. Dimensions: 165 x 95 x 70 mm. Please note: The gold-leaf does not come pre-attached to the electroscope. Details on how to properly attach the gold-leaf to the conducting rod are included with the product instructions.
