PCE-5890 is a handheld refractometer used to determine the % Brix (sucrose or sugar content), % water content and degrees Baumé (density) of honey. This portable pocket honey refractometer has a triple scale to allow the user to view all three measurement parameters at once.
The ultra-smooth focusing eyepiece provides high-quality optics, presenting an easy-to-read scale on a semi-transparent blue and fully transparent clear background. Ambient room lighting offers ample illumination to clearly read the results.
