Colorimeter
notes: label: Description
content: A colorimeter compares the color of a sample with that of a standard, often for industrial purposes. This example resembles the form introduced by Louis Jules Duboscq, a major optical instrument maker in Paris. Joseph Henry, the physicist who served as founding Secretary of the Smithsonian, probably acquired it for the Insitution.
