Langmuir Surface Tension Apparatus (replica)
notes: label: Description
content: Irving Langmuir (1881-1957) was an American who won a Nobel Prize in 1932 for his work in surface chemistry. Most notably, he developed a way to study layers of materials that are but one molecule thick. This item—a brass tray, and a brass film deposit plate—is a replica of Langmuir’s surface tension apparatus.
