Melting Point Apparatus

This Melting Point Apparatus has been designed with safety in mind. A single control knob on the front panel incorporates the mains ON/OFF switch with arbitrary scale of 0 to 10. A rapid heat switch allows higher temperatures to be obtained quickly. Sample tubes are illuminated from behind and magnified through a lens. A selector at the rear of the instrument allows a light or dark background. Ceramic insulation around the aluminium heating block minimises heat transfer to the casing.
