microbalance
Measures microgram weights
A microbalance is an extremely sensitive weighing instrument capable of measuring masses in the microgram range or smaller.
Used primarily in laboratories for precise chemical analysis, pharmaceutical research, and materials science, microbalances require controlled environments to minimize interference from air currents and vibrations: The chemist used a microbalance to measure the catalyst sample.
