Needle Electroscope, Large
This extra large electroscope is ideal for classroom demonstrations of electrostatic principles. A lightweight metal vane is used as a pointer in the electroscope. This lightweight metal blade deflects when the electroscope plate is charged. A transparent scale is provided to measure the angle of the deflection. Front glass window slides up to allow insertion of ionizing material in chamber.

Vernier® Interface Shield
The Vernier Arduino Interface Shield plugs directly on top of the Arduino and adds two BTA (analog) and two BTD (digital) sockets. This shield was developed to be used with the SparkFun Arduino RedBoard but will work with the Arduino Uno and other Uno equivalents like the Leonardo. It also works with the Intel Galileo.
