Abstract
The collection of historical physics instruments (Collezione Instrumentaria delle Scienze Fisiche) comprehends scientific instruments which are the remaining of the Ferrara University Physics Cabinet (1782-1950 ca.). On the whole the instruments may be seen as documents which envisage the development of the experimental sciences and testify the history of Ferrara University. The article, after a short introduction, describes some instruments of the Collection pertaining not only to Physics but also to Botanic, Chemistry, Pharmacy and analyses the causes and significance of their presence in the modern Collezione Instrumentaria delle Scienze Fisiche.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
