An isochronal differential-type microcalorimeter has been designed and constructed. As a result of its simple design it is very easy to handle the samples and assemble the calorimeter. Important to the operation of the calorimeter is a program, also working on the differential principle, that provides linear temperature rise of the samples. The calorimeter is used to measure very small energy releases such as those found in precipithtion, stored energy, etc. It is demonstrated that the calorimeter is easily capable of measuring 0.005 cal with a probable error of the order of 1 to 2%.
