These highly precise

instruments can
measure down to ten

thousandths or even
hundred thousandths
of a gram. Modern
analytical balances use
a complex system of
electronic sensors to
accurately mass a
substance. The
analytical balance is so
sensitive that it often
has a draft shield to
prevent air currents
from interfering with
the measurement.
