Just a droplet placed on the slide is enough for a very clear indication of a fluids specific gravity. Available with scales to measure everything from wine to cat's urine, mines also scaled for battery electrolyte s.g., the most accurate indication of a lead/acid batteries state of charge.
Available through Amazon and eBay for around £20.
