Optical Glass X-Cube RGB Dichroic Prism 12.7 mm

Explore Light and Color with Professional-Grade Precision

This Optical Glass X-Cube is a compact dichroic cube prism designed to split and combine RGB (red, green, blue) light with clarity and accuracy. Constructed from high-transparency optical glass, each face is precisely polished and coated with dichroic layers to control how different wavelengths of light are transmitted and reflected. The result is a clear, stable optical component suitable for demonstrations, experiments, and display.

When white or colored light passes through the cube, it separates into distinct red, green, and blue components, clearly illustrating color addition, light mixing, and basic optical principles. Viewed from different angles, the cube presents varied color effects, making it valuable both as an educational aid and as a visually engaging desk object. Its 12.7 mm x 12.7 mm x 12.7 mm size is easy to handle, store, and integrate into small optical setups or classroom demonstrations.

Why It's a Smart Choice

• Clear optical glass construction - Ensures high light transmission and sharp color separation for reliable demonstrations.
• Compact, cube design - 12.7 mm form factor fits easily into optical paths, classroom kits, and desktop displays.
• Educational and versatile - Ideal for teaching color theory, RGB mixing, and basic optics in schools, labs, or at home.

FAQ

Q: What are the dimensions of the cube?
A: The X-cube measures approximately 12.7 mm x 12.7 mm x 12.7 mm (0.5" x 0.5" x 0.5").

Q: Is this suitable for classroom use?
A: Yes. It is well suited for physics, optics, and general science classes to demonstrate RGB color mixing and light behavior.

Q: Do I need special equipment to use it?
A: No. A basic white light source or RGB LEDs are sufficient to observe color splitting and combining effects.

Q: Can it be used as a decorative piece?
A: Yes. Its multicolor reflections and compact form make it an attractive addition to a desk, studio, or display shelf.
