About This Product
An Abbe refractometer measures how much light bends in a sample. A thin layer of the sample lies between two prisms, and the user looks through the telescope and adjusts the instrument until the boundary between light and dark is sharp and free of colour. The refractive index is then read from the scale. The compensator removes colour fringes, and the thermometer shows the sample temperature, which affects the reading. It is used in physics and chemistry labs and for sugar solutions.
