A lighted stage for use in chemistry demonstrations

Abstract

How to build a light stage; diagrams are included.

“…We typically use the magic flask for our "Rainbow Board" demonstration. We use an illuminated board that is easier to use and to make and more adaptable than that described by Olesen and Leaton (1). Our light board is made from a four-foot standard two-tube fluorescent fixture that has a flat translucent plastic covering.…”
