The usual sucrose concentration of selected substances
Example: 100 grams of 25 °Bx aqueous solution contains 25 grams of
sugar. In other words, there is 25 grams of sugar and 75 grams of
water in 100 grams of sugar solution.

Measurement
The honey measurement is very easy. Place a few drops of the honey
on the optical part of the refractometer, cover the prism (the
honey will spread more easily over the prism), look throught the
eyepiece against the light (focus, if necessary) and you will be
able to read the result value on the scale.
