A user discovered an unidentified piece of equipment in their lab, speculated to be from the 1960s, possibly related to optics and ray tracing. The equipment, labeled "Stansi" and made in the USA, was found without instructions or accompanying parts. Suggestions were made to contact Fisher Scientific, which acquired Stansi Scientific in 1967, for more information. The discussion included links to similar optical apparatuses and resources that could provide further insights into the equipment's purpose. The consensus leaned towards it being an optics-related item, given its design resembling converging and diverging lenses.
