1. Platform - Samples to be weighed are placed here

2. Balace cup - This part is under the platform and contains metal slugs used to adjust the scale's balance

3. Zero Adjustment Knob - Used to make minor adjustments to zero / balance the scale

4. Knives and Bearings - These are the pivot points for the beam assembly and are critical to minimizing friction and maintaining accuracy

5. Poises - These are the sliding weights used to balance the device

6. Beam Assembly - This part supports the balance cup, platform, and poises and is where readings are taken

7. Damper Vane - This is a piece of metal that hangs off of the pointer end of the beam. It is positioned between small stabilizing magnets inside the trig loop.

8. Trig Loop and Magnets - This is the end part of the triple beam where the pointer terminates and where the zero point is marked. Small magnets are placed inside the trig loop and help bring the beam to a stop quicker.

9. Pointer - Used to determine when the triple beam is balanced

10. Hanging Counterweights (optional) - Used to increase the capacity of the scale
