Vintage Science item COLORIMETER for BLOOD SAMPLES

Welcome to another Great item from SYOTTOYS and thanks for stopping by, after you have looked at this one, why not sit back, grab your favorite drink and spend some time checking out all the wonderful things I have to offer. THIS ITEM IS-- vintage science item, with viewing area, 3 dials to move up measurments, one of them does not go up. Seems like the light comes from two places (see photo 9), not sure what this is for, perhaps you know. There is a paper with a tiny screw, as you see it. Here is some info from a nice ebayer. What this is, is most of a colorimeter.

Early use was to compare the color of a blood sample with the color of a standard. The eyepiece allows the viewer to see half of one side and half of the other by way of a pair of prisms or one cut just right.

The samples are raised and lowered until both views look the same color. The instrument then has numbers so as to see a ratio and that gives an answer such as the red blood count. On this, I do not see the sample tubes. You now know how it is used, you might figure it out.

Light must come in evenly. There is no magnification involved. The rod that does not move is just stuck, usually by corrosion. Spectrometers now do this work including much more.
