Leslie Cube with Heater

The Leslie Cube with Heater is a hollow cube made of aluminium for quantitative analysis of thermal radiation from a hot body as a function of temperature and the nature of the surface. Featuring a rotatable Leslie cube with built-in 150W lamp, the cube includes an integrated temperature sensor for regulated heating of surfaces to a variable temperature and a holding for a thermopile. One side each is plain, matt, white or painted black.
