These instruments are generally called refractometers, or-if the physical phenomenon of total reflection is used--also total reflectometers. These range from the precursor of Kepler's refractometer (1611) to the primitive but ingenious instrument of Wollaston (1802) to modern, ultra-precise total reflectometers.
The refractometer
Reflectometers measure the intensity of reflected light, usually at normal (90[degrees]) incidence to the sample.
