This is a refraction cell used to hold volatile liquids,
such as carbon disulphide, for use in a prism spectrometer. It has been
made by grinding off two corners of an alcohol burner and attaching glass
windows.
The cell is in the Jack Judson Collection at the Magic
Lantern collection in San Antonio, Texas.

| Electrochemical reactions can be projected
using cells like the one at the right. Electrodes extending into the solution
inside the cell are connected to the terminals of a battery.
