Laboratory Instruments

The equipment for spectral analysis from 1940 to 1960 includes specialized instruments—spectrometers, spectrophotometers, comparators, monochromators, and gas photometers from English, German, Soviet, and American origins. The gas absorption analyzers date from the turn of the 19th to the 20th century and from the 1970s, while dryers, vacuum dryers, and thermostats are from 1920 to 1980. The collection also contains extractors, devices for the laboratory production of illuminating gas, laboratory glassware, including measuring vessels, burettes, and pipettes from the post-1890 period, as well as lamps from that time.

A curiosity in the collection is a pocket laboratory from the 19th century, contained in a paper box with a side length of 12 cm, featuring miniature equipment, including a lamp and essential chemicals in glass bottles and cups. The collection also includes rare polarographs, including a device from the Heyrovský-Shikata system, on which Nobel Prize winner Professor Jaroslav Heyrovský himself worked.
