Study of the refractometer operation [ENG] (Abbe refractometer (The use and how it works))

Today’s topic is the study of the refractometer operation. The main objective of our lesson is to determine the unknown concentration of aqueous glycerol solution.
A refractometer is a device, purposed for the measurement of refractive indexes of substances. In the laboratory, a medicine refractometer is used to measure the total plasma protein in blood samples and urine specific gravity in urine samples.
