The study participants wore nasal masks hooked to an
olfactometer -- an instrument used to produce and measure smells -- and were shown a series of images of objects or scenes.
As the study's participants viewed the images, they wore a nasal mask connected to an
olfactometer.
Three experiments were done: one using an
olfactometer under controlled laboratory conditions; one using an
olfactometer under semi-controlled field conditions; and a third using pitfall traps in uncontrolled field conditions.
Each arm of the Y-shaped glass
olfactometer, with a continuous air flow of 1.0 L per min, was linked by silicone tubes to 2 glass chambers (42 cm H x 16 cm W) with the tested materials.
[18.] Geier M, Boeckh J (1999) A new Y-tube
olfactometer for mosquitoes to measure the attractiveness of host odours.
We used a Y-tube
olfactometer that provided simultaneous discrimination between two chemical environments, and quantified ambulatory behaviors that might be associated with the sampling of the airborne chemicals.

olfactometer for tube-fed, premature infants.
It was designed and elaborated an
olfactometer with four arms based on Lopez-Avila and Rincon (2006) and Pacheco et al.
In
olfactometer bioassays, female Arhopalus tristis (F.) had a strong preference for the volatiles of burnt vs.
Sense of smell was measured using an
olfactometer. The first round of testing (OPID-10, Odor Percept IDentification) called for identifying 10 common scents: menthol, clove, leather, strawberry, lilac, pineapple, smoke, soap, grape, or lemon.
The response of female parasitoids to different odor samples was examined using a static four-chamber
olfactometer, as described by Ruther and Steidle (2000).
