Combine the Photogate Timer with these items to extend capability and perform ten classic physics mechanics experiments.

Accessory Photogate
(ME-9204B)

Featuring a Photogate Head with a narrow infrared beam and fast fall time that provide accurate signals for timing.

Time-of-Flight Accessory
(ME-6810)

Use with a Photogate to capture time of flght data. Timing starts when object passes through photogate and stops when object impacts this landing pad. For use with PASPORT and ScienceWorkshop Interfaces.

Freefall Adapter
(ME-9207B)

This adapter is an auto release mechanism that works with Photogate Timers, Smart Timer, and ScienceWorkshop Interfaces.

Laser Switch
(ME-9259A)

Acts as a large photogate for objects too large to pass through a standard photogate. Works with lasers as a light source.
