Optics PowerPoint Background

This optics powerpoint background brings optical instruments to a deep navy canvas. A microscope arm, a magnifying lens and a laser pointer emerge with dramatic lighting at the edge of each slide. They stay small and focused, so formulas, ray diagrams and lab findings get most of the space. Use it for physics lessons, optics labs and science lectures, and it works as an optics slide background in Google Slides too.

Features:

  • Dramatically lit optics details: microscope arm, projector stand, tripod leg and magnifying lens
  • 5 background layouts: object on the left, right or bottom, plus two diagonal corner versions
  • Deep navy and blue color palette with dramatic lighting
  • About 80% clean space for titles, text, charts and diagrams
  • Widescreen 16:9 format (1856×1056 JPG)
  • Works in PowerPoint, Google Slides and Keynote
