PASCO is Celebrating 60 Years of

Innovation in Science Education
60 years ago, PASCO scientific introduced its first product, the Millikan Oil Drop Experiment, that had its
origins as a high school science project. Amazingly, schools ordered this apparatus from a company they
had never heard of – displaying a great amount of trust in a new company.
And for the past 60 years, high schools and colleges have continued to place their trust in the apparatus
we design, manufacture, sell and support. For that trust over the years, we simply say, “Thank You!”
With your continued support and suggestions, we will strive to maintain that trust into the future.
What have we been doing for the
past 60 years? I invite you to peruse
our catalog and see the hundreds of
products that bear the name PASCO.
