Abstract
The design and construction of a double beam optical lever are described. Its use is illustrated by describing an experiment to measure changes of the order of 10−5 in the refractive index of NaCl by the method of measuring the change in angle of refraction of a beam of light by a prism of the salt. It is capable of higher sensitivities and has the advantage that it can monitor the motion of the crystal as a whole.
