Compact apparatus for demonstrating the discrete nature (quantisation) of electric charge and for determining the elementary charge of an electron. The experiment is set up on a height-adjustable tripod and consists of a plate capacitor under a plastic cover, measuring microscope, lighting apparatus and an oil atomiser. Includes a plastic bottle containing oil. Distance between plates:
