Mirror galvanometer (about 1900)
Description
English: Mirror galvanometer, used in physics education probably around 1900, on display in the Schulhistorische Sammlung (School Historical Museum), Bremerhaven, Germany. It was used to measure small currents. Wires from the current source were attached to the binding posts at either side of the base. The current passed through the wire coil and caused a magnetized needle suspended from a fiber in the vertical column to turn. This also turned a mirror attached to the fiber. The current was measured by the deflection of a beam of light reflected from the mirror and striking a graduated scale (not shown).
Deutsch: Ein Spiegelgalvanometer, wie es im Physikunterricht um 1900 verwendet wurde, ausgestellt in der schulhistorischen Sammlung in Bremerhaven. Es diente der Messung kleinster Ströme. Die Stromquelle wurde über Drähte an den Kontaktpfosten beiderseits des Sockels angeschlossen. Der Strom floss durch die Drahtspule und lenkte eine Magnetnadel, die an einem dünnen Faden aufgehängt war, ab. Dadurch drehte sich ebenso der am Faden befestigte Spiegel. Der Strom wurde durch einen vom Spiegel abgelenkten Lichtstrahl auf einer im Bild nicht dargestellten Skala angezeigt.
