Spanish term or phrase: cuadrata

This is actually from a text describing the work of an artist who works with scientists. I am not sure if it is an instrument of her invention or not.

Mediante la cuadrata, instrumento científico para delimitar un área de búsqueda, realizó una serie de dibujos a partir de la observación de las especies incluidas en ella

Thanks!
