Student Polarimeter
Product Code : JA-MI-4884
The Student Polarimeter (SKU JA-MI-4884) is a Laurent half-shade polarimeter for measuring the rotation of plane-polarised light by optically active solutions such as sugar. It consists of a Laurent half-shade plate, a polariser and an analyser, with a brass scale graduated from 0 to 360° or 0 to 180° and read with a vernier. The instrument accommodates a 200 mm glass tube for the solution and is packed in a cardboard box. It is supplied by JaincoLab for college physics and chemistry laboratories.
Specifications
The polarimeter has a Laurent half-shade device, polariser, analyser and a brass circular scale graduated 0-360° or 0-180° with vernier, and takes a 200 mm glass tube; the vernier least count is confirmed on the quotation.

Experiments with the student polarimeter
A half-shade polarimeter lets students find the angle through which a solution rotates polarised light, and from that its specific rotation or its concentration.
- Finding the specific rotation of cane sugar solution in B.Sc physics practicals
- Determining the concentration of an optically active solution
- Studying optical activity and the polarisation of light
- Chemistry and pharmacy practicals on optically active compounds
