- Description
- This spectrophotometer came from Clemson College (now University), a school that opened in 1893 as the Clemson Agricultural College of South Carolina. The “Franz Schmidt & Haensch, Berlin S.” inscription refers to a German firm that began making optical, physical and chemical instruments in 1864. General Electric gave this instrument to Clemson, with the idea that the school might find use for the various parts.
