Science had made life of people easy and all that was possible because of various instruments which have been developed by inventors. Here we are going to discuss 30 such important scientific instruments with their uses. Here is list of 30 scientific instruments with their uses which are important from various points of view, from General knowledge of class 10 to Job Examination preparation whether of UPSC Civil Services, National Defence Defence Academy (NDA), Railway Recruitment Board (RRB), Special Class Railway Apprentices (SCRA), SSC, and many other more.
