Featured Equipment
Universal 550 Physics Experiment Bundle
This system provides a complete set of labs for mechanics, heat, light, sound, and electromagnetism.
550 Universal Interface
The 550 is fast, powerful, and incredibly affordable. It offers half the ports and many of the same features as our 850 Interface in a smaller package.
PASPORT High Sensitivity Light Sensor
Designed to perform visible light studies from low intensity spectral studies to daylight. Built in oversampling reduces noise. PASPORT version.
Support
Many lab activities can be conducted with our Wireless, PASPORT, or even ScienceWorkshop sensors and equipment. For assistance with substituting compatible instruments, contact PASCO Technical Support. We're here to help.
