Carl Zeiss Konimeter
This is a Carl Zeiss konimeter in the collection of an instrument collector in Catalonia. A konimeter is an instrument for measuring the dust content of a sample of air. A measured volume of air is drawn through a jet, to impinge on a surface coated with a glycerin jelly. The dust adheres to the surface and the particles are counted under a microscope.
