These things are high-precision instruments and not science-fair borderline toys. I am not aware of any amateur ones made for students. The closest thing would be (in principle) the rangefinder of the coincidence or split-image type used on many German cameras such as the Leica. When the image is brought into coincidence ( unity would be a better word- one image) the instrument ( camera, etc) is in focus. one then reads off the range. In a loose sense- almost like the surfboard analogy to the wing of a plane, well there is some kinship. There are also interferometers which are used for shop measurements and ultrasonic usage. You don't find these things in Duncan Hardware!

What is the interferometer used for?
It allows two or more small telescopes to achieve the angular resolution of a much larger telescope. This instrument is credited to Albert A. Michaelson.
When several radio telescopes are wired together the resulting network is call?
Interferometer.
Why astronomers use an interferometer?
Your eyes and brain form an interferometer, allowing for 3D imaging.
When was Plateau de Bure Interferometer created?
Plateau de Bure Interferometer was created in 1988.
What is the purpose of compensating plate in michelson interferometer?
a compensating plate is used in michelson interferometer to compensate the additional path difference of ray 1
What did Albert Michelson do?
He is the inventorof the Michelson interferometer.
What are some applications of the Michelson Interferometer?
The Michelson Interferometer is used to create an interference pattern by splitting a beam of light into two paths. This device has several important scientific applications for experimentation.
When two or more telescopes are wired together what is the resulting network?
Interferometer
What are the applications of Michelson interferometer?
to measure wavelength and other wave characters
Why circular fringes are obtained in michelson interferometer?
The mirrors are perfectly perpendicular
What is the principle used in ultrasonic interferometer?
Inverse piezo-electric effect.
Explain how ultrasonic waves can be produced in the laboratory?
using ultrasonic interferometer
