Laboratory measurement devices
Scientific instruments are tools designed for measuring, observing, or analyzing natural phenomena with precision.
The category spans from simple devices like thermometers and balances to complex equipment like electron microscopes and mass spectrometers.
The lab was equipped with scientific instruments for chemical analysis.
The term emphasizes accuracy and systematic methodology—a kitchen scale measures, but a laboratory balance is a scientific instrument.
