atomizers

Fine spray bottles

Atomizers are devices that break liquid into a fine spray or mist.

The term covers everything from perfume bottles with squeeze bulbs to industrial spray equipment.

Medical atomizers deliver medication to the nose or throat.

The mechanism forces liquid through a small opening, dispersing it as tiny droplets: She spritzed perfume from an antique atomizer.
