A two pan balance. Also, it can be calculated for objects in orbit using Newton's gravitation constant: M=1/G*R* v^2, where G is the constant, R is the orbital radius and v is the orbital velocity.

Shimadzu Scientific Instruments, whose US headquarters are located in Columbia, MD, has donated 89 analytical balances valued at $111,080.00 to the Howard County Public School System. The balances are high precision weighing instruments generally used to measure the amount of chemicals and other components used in scientific experiments. Clarissa Evans, Science Coordinator for the Howard County Public School System indicates that "The teachers welcome the new balances and will use this equipment as they implement their science programs."
Shimadzu Scientific Instruments is a global manufacturer of a wide range of analytical and testing instruments that are used in virtually every type of industrial and academic laboratory. Gilbert Vial, Product Manager for Physical Testing and Measurement at Shimadzu, said that "it is important for Shimadzu to be an active part of the community. The donation of these balances was made to allow students to become familiar with the technology currently being used in scientific laboratories."

An instrument is a concrete or abstract tool intended for a purpose other than mechanical work, in particular a refined one.
Musical instruments are devices designed to produce music, frequently by plucking or striking a string or bell or drum surface, or by forcing air to resonate (see wind instrument).
Scientific instruments are devices intended to assist in the conduct of science. An example would be the test tubes and other glassware one might find in a chemistry or biology laboratory. Scientific instruments include but is not limited to some Laboratory equipment (scientific instruments includes instruments used outside the laboratory for scientific purposes, for example the Hubble telescope is a scientific instrument. Specific categories of scientific instruements include
Measuring instruments are devices used to measure or compare the magnitude of physical properties, such as voltmeters, speedometers, etc.
Analytical instruments are devices used to measure multiple or complex material properties, such as mass spectrometers.
Medical instruments are devices for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, such as stethoscopes.
Instruments of torture is a term for the means whereby some act of torture is accomplished.
Legal instruments are documents used to formally document various types of transactions or confirm certain statuses for specific purposes, such as confirming contractual relations, civil status, etc. Examples include wills, writs, court order, contracts, treaties, marriage licenses and driver's licenses.
Financial instruments are documents used to formally document various types of financial transactions. Examples include loan agreements, bonds, mortgages, stocks and floating charges.
Negotiable instruments are a class of documents evidencing promises or orders to pay a certain sum of money.
In statistics, an instrument is an instrumental variable.
A statutory instrument refers to a regulation or other secondary legislation passed pursuant to authority given by primary legislation.

The Magnetospheric Imaging Instrument (MIMI) is designed to measure the composition, charge state and energy distribution of energetic ions and electrons; detect fast neutral particles; and conduct remote imaging of Saturn's magnetosphere. The information gathered is used to study the overall configuration and dynamics of the magnetosphere and its interactions with the solar wind, Saturn's atmosphere, rings, and icy moons, and Titan. It is the first instrument ever designed to produce an image of a planetary magnetosphere.
The instrument provides images of the ionized gases, called plasma, surrounding Saturn and determines the charge and composition of ions. Like the Cassini plasma spectrometer, this instrument has three sensors that perform various measurements: the low-energy magnetospheric measurement system, the charge-energy-mass spectrometer, and the ion and neutral camera.
The low-energy magnetospheric measurement system will measure low and high-energy proton, ion and electron angular distributions (the number of particles coming from each direction). The charge-energy-mass spectrometer uses an electrostatic analyzer, a time-of-flight mass spectrometer and microchannel plate detectors to measure the charge and composition of ions. The third sensor, the ion and neutral camera, makes two different type of measurements. It will obtain three-dimensional distributions and velocities and determine the rough composition of magnetospheric and interplanetary ions.
MIMI will study the hot plasma in Saturn's magnetosphere as well as storms and Saturn Kilometric Radiation (SKR).

In physics and engineering, measurement is the activity of comparing physical quantities of real-world objects and events. Established standard objects and events are used as units, and the measurement results in a given number for the relationship between the item under study and the referenced unit of measurement. Measuring instruments are the means by which this translation is made. All measuring instruments are subject to varying degrees of instrument error.
Physicists use a vast range of instruments to perform their measurements. These range from simple objects such as rulers and stopwatches to electron microscopes and particle accelerators. Virtual instrumentation is widely used in the development of modern measuring instruments.
