Abstract
An olfactometer is described in which an attractive zone is established and maintained in a precisely determined location on the floor (or wall) of an observation chamber and also in the air adjacent to it. Insects must therefore manifest their normal behavior in finding their way to it. The attenuation of the attraction by "background odors" can be studied quantitatively.Keywords
