- From the museum’s collection, we present a hand-held scale, which, based on its model, falls into the category of beam scales. Every pharmacist in the past had the skill of measuring with a hand scale
- The name of the instrument refers to our hands. The scale is placed on the middle finger of one hand, while a weight is placed on one pan using the other hand, and the substance to be measured on the other pan. The skill requires precision and steadiness of the hand, achieved through practice and complete focus on the measurement process.
