Pin Hole Camera
Product Code : JA-PLE-4164
The Pin Hole Camera (SKU JA-PLE-4164) is a simple optics apparatus from JaincoLab for showing how an image forms without a lens. Light from a bright object passes through a small hole and falls on a screen at the other end, where it forms an inverted image. As a pinhole camera for school physics it gives students direct evidence that light travels in straight lines, and it supports lessons on image formation, image size and the camera.
Specifications
The pinhole camera works on a simple principle: rays from each point of an object pass through a single small hole and land on a screen, producing an inverted image; dimensions, materials and screen details are not part of the current product data and are confirmed on the quotation.

Applications of the pinhole camera for school physics
Teachers use the pinhole camera to show that light travels in straight lines, to explain why the image is inverted, and to let students see how moving the screen changes the size of the image.
- Demonstrating the rectilinear propagation of light
- Explaining why the image formed is inverted
- Relating image size to the distance between the hole and the screen
- Introducing the camera and the eye in middle and secondary school optics

Frequently asked questions
What does the pinhole camera demonstrate?
That light travels in straight lines: rays through the small hole form an inverted image of a bright object on the screen.
Why is the image upside down?
Rays from the top of the object pass through the hole and reach the bottom of the screen, and rays from the bottom reach the top, so the image is inverted.
What are the dimensions?
Dimensions, materials and screen details are confirmed on the quotation.
