Schematics of Nobili's Galvanometer Galvanometer on display at MHS Geneva He worked with Macedonio Melloni on the thermomultiplier , a combination of thermopile and galvanometer , [ 4 ] [ 5 ] before being appointed professor of physics [ 6 ] at the Reale Museo di Fisica e Storia Naturale (Royal Museum of Physics and Natural History) in Florence ...
Late 19th or early 20th century. This galvanometer was used at the transatlantic cable station, Halifax, NS, Canada Modern mirror galvanometer from Scanlab. A mirror galvanometer is an ammeter that indicates it has sensed an electric current by deflecting a light beam with a mirror. The beam of light projected on a scale acts as a long massless ...
An early D'Arsonval galvanometer showing magnet and rotating coil. A galvanometer is an electromechanical measuring instrument for electric current.Early galvanometers were uncalibrated, but improved versions, called ammeters, were calibrated and could measure the flow of current more precisely.

A ballistic galvanometer is a type of sensitive galvanometer; commonly a mirror galvanometer. Unlike a current-measuring galvanometer, the moving part has a large moment of inertia, thus giving it a long oscillation period. It is really an integrator measuring the quantity of charge discharged through it. It can be either of the moving coil or ...
The meter movement in a moving pointer analog multimeter is practically always a moving-coil galvanometer of the d'Arsonval type, using either jeweled pivots or taut bands to support the moving coil. In a basic analog multimeter the current to deflect the coil and pointer is drawn from the circuit being measured; it is usually an advantage to ...
The thermo-galvanometer designed by Mr W. Duddell can be used for the measurement of extremely small currents to a high degree of accuracy. It has practically no self-induction or capacity and can therefore be used on a circuit of any frequency (even up to 120,000~ per sec.) and currents as small as twenty micro-amperes can be readily measured ...
