Quantitative Electroscope
Electrostatic charges are indicated by the deflection of a black plastic straw pivoted on a pin. The polished zinc plate on top is used to demonstrate photoelectric effect and various other electrostatic demonstrations. The metal case measures 14 cm in diameter. The scale is graduated in 10° increments in two quadrants.
