The Metal Vane Electroscope is designed to explore electrostatic charge phenomena and perform accurate electrical measurements. It operates similarly to the standard Gold Leaf Electroscope but uses a lightweight and sensitive aluminium vane instead of a delicate gold leaf. This design offers enhanced durability without compromising sensitivity.

Durable & Sensitive Design

Unlike the Gold Leaf type, which relies on a fragile gold leaf to detect electrostatic charges, the Metal Vane Electroscope features an aluminium vane that rotates on needle pivots within a small frame. This robust construction ensures greater resilience while maintaining similar sensitivity and performance. The aluminium vane's robustness addresses challenges encountered during transport, where the delicate gold leaf often breaks, rendering replacement complex despite the availability of spare leaves.

Shielded Housing & Viewing Panels

The entire electroscope is housed in a shielded metal case to prevent electrostatic charge buildup on the casing, which could interfere with measurements. The housing features glass viewing panels on both the front and rear, with one panel being removable. These panels protect the vane from tampering and minimise the impact of air currents on readings. The removable panel facilitates the insertion of radioactive sources or other experimental devices as required.

Product Features

  • Enhanced Durability & Sensitivity: Aluminium vane design provides robust performance while preserving measurement accuracy.
  • Metal Shielded Housing: Protects against external electrostatic interference and ensures accurate measurements.
  • Removable Glass Panel: Enables additional experimental setups, such as the use of radioactive sources.
  • Manufactured In Australia: High-quality production standards ensure reliable and consistent performance.
