engraved printing plate showing some scientific instruments

Can any of my clever friends identify this plate or the publication in which it was used? It must date before 1670, as the recto of the plate has an etching by Hollar published that year.

The image was flipped and turned into greyscale.

Map detectives to the rescue!
We are searching for a printed map depicting the siege of Frankenthal (Pfalz), which happened from 1621 to 1623.
