Koniscope
(Redirected from Coniscope)
A Koniscope (or coniscope) is a scientific instrument to detect dust particles in the atmosphere. It was invented by John Aitken.
The koniscope is made by connecting a pump with a test tube that is walled with moist paper. The tube is held towards a light source and the pump is briefly activated. Dust particles will cling to the paper, producing a visible change in color.
