chemistry-related antique optical instruments

On this web page, you will see my collection of early optical instruments used in the chemical laboratory. The collection consist of old instruments such as spectroscopes, refractometers, polarimeters, goniometers, and microscopes.

These instruments were designed specifically for making measurements on or doing experiments with chemical substances. The instruments date from the late 19th to the early 20th century.

Elsewhere on this web site, you can see my more extensive collection of antique brass microscopes dating from the end of the 18th to the beginning of the 20th century. I am always interested in acquiring new scientific instruments for these collections and will answer all inquiries.
