Introduction
The OS-8496 Color Mixer is designed to be used with such systems as the OS-8459 Beginning Optics System or the OS-8515C
Basic Optics System. The Color Mixer includes a power adapter (100 to 240 V AC to 5 V DC at 2.6 A). The mixer has three bright
light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that produce red, green and blue light. When the colors of light are mixed with the right intensity, the
combination appears as white light.
The Color Mixer fits on a PASCO Optics Bench such as the OS-8508 1.2 m Optics Bench or the OS-8541 60 cm Optics Bench.
You can also mount the Color Mixer and other PASCO Optics System components on a PASCO Dynamics Track using the
OS-8472 Dynamics Track Optics Carriage (set of three). The Color Mixer works best when used with the OS-8460 Viewing
Screen.
