The Palm Abbe refractometer is fast, convenient, and easy to use. Simply place a drop or two of fluid (minimum sample volume is 0.3ml.) in the sample well and press a button. The custom-designed microprocessor delivers a nearly instantaneous readout in degrees Brix. Nonlinear temperature compensation is automatic based on Sucrose and insures that fluids read between 0 and 50 °C (+32 to 122 °F). The large LCD display is easily read and removes the subjectivity associated with interpreting where a boundary line crosses tiny scale divisions. The user interface consists of two buttons, one to take readings and the other to step through various menu options. Calibration is automatic and does not require the use of special calibration solutions, or tools. The Palm Abbe refractometer automatically calibrates itself to water and is ready to use in seconds. Well Material is Titanium and the prism is Sapphire. Power is supplied by 2 AAA batteries. Units are 6 x 3 x 1-1/2"
