Most aircraft are equipped with a standard set of flight instruments which give the pilot information about the aircraft's attitude, speed and height.
; Basic flight instruments : A set of six instruments which most aircraft have.
; Altimeter : Gives the aircraft's height (usually in feet) above some reference level (often sea-level)
; Artificial Horizon or Attitude Indicator :Shows the aircraft's attitude relative to the horizon. From this the pilot can tell whether the wings are level and whether the aircraft nose is pointing above or below the horizon.
; Airspeed indicator : Shows the aircraft's speed (usually in knots) relative to the surrounding air.
; Compass : Shows the aircraft's heading relative to magnetic north.
; Direction indicator (also known as Gyrocompass) : Shows the aircraft's heading.
; Turn & Bank Indicator : Tells if the aircraft is turning and whether it is "in balance" ie, not sideslipping.
; Vertical speed indicator : Shows whether the aircraft is climbing or descending relative to the surrounding air.

An instrument is a concrete or abstract tool intended for a purpose other than mechanical work, in particular a refined one.
- Musical instruments are devices designed to produce music, frequently by plucking or striking a string or bell or drum surface, or by forcing air to resonate (see wind instruments).
- Scientific instruments are devices intended to assist in the conduct of science. An example would be the test tubes and other glassware one might find in a chemistry or biology laboratory.
- Measuring instruments are devices used to measure or compare the magnitude of physical properties, such as voltmeters.
- Analytical instruments are devices used to measure multiple or complex material properties, such as mass spectrometers.
- Medical instruments are devices for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, such as stethoscopes.
- Legal instruments are documents used to formally document various types of transactions or confirm certain statuses for specific purposes, such as confirming contractual relations, civil status, etc. Examples include willss, writs, court order, contracts, treatys, marriage licenses and driver's licenses.
- Financial instruments are documents used to formally document various types of financial transactions. Examples include loan agreements, bonds, mortgages, shares and floating charges.

In physics and engineering, measurement is the activity of comparing physical quantities of real-world objects and events. Established standard objects and events are used as units, and the measurement results in a given number for the relationship between the item under study and the referenced unit of measurement. Measuring instruments are the means by which this translation is made.
Physicists use a vast range of instruments to perform their measurements. These range from simple objects such as rulers and stopwatches to electron microscopes and particle accelerators.

A musical instrument is an device modified or constructed with the purpose of making music. In principle, anything that somehow produces sound can serve as a musical instrument, but the expression is reserved generally to items that have that specific purpose.The academic study of musical instruments is called organology.
Instruments are often divided by the way in which they generate sound:
Many alternate divisions and further subdivisions of instruments exist. To learn about a specific instrument, consult the list of musical instruments.
- Wind instruments generate a sound when a column of air is made to vibrate inside them. The frequency of the wave generated is related to the length of the column of air and the shape of the instrument, while the tone quality of the sound generated is affected by the construction of the instrument and method of tone production.
- Percussion instruments create sound, with or without pitch, when struck. The shape and material of the part of the instrument to be struck and the shape of the resonating cavity, if any, determine the sound of the instrument.
- String instruments generate a sound when the string is plucked, strummed, slapped, etc. The frequency of the wave generated (and therefore the note produced) usually depends on the length of the vibrating portion of the string, the tension of each string and the point at which the string is excited; the tone quality varies with the construction of the resonating cavity.
- Voice\, that is, the human voice, is an instrument in its own right. A singer generated sounds when airflow from the lungs sets the vocal cords into oscillation. The fundamental frequency is controlled by the tension of the vocal cords and the tone quality by the formation of the vocal tract; a wide range of sounds can be created.
- Electronic instruments generate sound through electronic means. They often mimic other instruments in their design, particularly keyboards.
- Keyboard instruments are wind instruments (organ), string instruments (harpsichord), percussion instruments (piano) or electronic instruments (synthesizer) that are played by a keyboard. Every key generates one or more sounds; most keyboard instruments have extra means (pedals for a piano, stops for an organ) to manipulate these sounds.
All classes of instruments save the electronic are mentioned in ancient sources, such as Egyptian inscriptions and the Bible, and probably predate recorded history. The human body, generating both vocal and percussive sounds, may have been the first instrument, or, perhaps, found percussion instruments such as stones and hollow logs. Thirty-thousand-year-old bone flutes or recorderss have been found in archeological sites.

 | Pictured are instruments used in endoscopy. They are highlighted in an otherwise dark picture and lying on a textured cloth. Shown are flexible fibers, a small brush and a third instrument in some photos. The fibers transmit high intensity light through the endoscope shown. The brushes are used to take biopsies. Credit: Linda Bartlett (photographer). |  | Pictured is a scanning electron micrograph of cultured HeLa cells originally derived many years ago from a woman's cancerous cervical tissue. A light micrograph (x130) of the same cells (inset) reveals rounded double cells in the center in the process of dividing. This HeLa cell (named after patient Henrietta Lacks) has been infected with adenovirus. After 4-1/2 hours the HeLa cell's surface becomes rough. The multiple surface blebs on this cell characteristic for a certain stage of cell division that both normal and cancer cells go through. Research with the SEM has established the extraordinarily responsive nature of cell surface form. This instrument records, in pictures, specific cell reactions to various changes in the cells environment and maps the distribution of surface binding sites for biologically important molecules such as hormone, antigens, and pharmacologic agents.
