A Frog galvanoscope is a historical scientific instrument used to detect electric currents. It was developed based on the observations of physiologist Luigi Galvani in the late 18th century, who discovered that the muscles of a frog's leg would contract when exposed to an electric current. The instrument typically consists of a frog's leg (often preserved) attached to a metallic frame.
