Three beakers, an Erlenmeyer flask, a graduated cylinder and a volumetric flask. Laboratory glassware is a variety of equipment used in scientific work, traditionally made of glass.
(A) A low-form or Griffin form beaker (B) A tall-form or Berzelius beaker (C) A flat beaker or crystallizer Philips beaker which can be swirled like a conical flask. Standard or "low-form" (A) beakers typically have a height about 1.4 times the diameter. [3]
Guitar slide made of borosilicate glass. Borosilicate glass is a type of glass with silica and boron trioxide as the main glass-forming constituents. Borosilicate glasses are known for having very low coefficients of thermal expansion (≈3 × 10 −6 K −1 at 20 °C), making them more resistant to thermal shock than any other common glass.
A Büchner funnel with a sintered glass disc. A Büchner funnel is a piece of laboratory equipment used in filtration. [1] It is traditionally made of porcelain, but glass and plastic funnels are also available.
A laboratory centrifuge is a piece of laboratory equipment, driven by a motor, which spins liquid samples at high speed.There are various types of centrifuges, depending on the size and the sample capacity.
Cut glass wine glass made of lead glass. Lead glass, commonly called crystal, is a variety of glass in which lead replaces the calcium content of a typical potash glass. [1] Lead glass contains typically 18–40% (by mass) lead(II) oxide (PbO), while modern lead crystal, historically also known as flint glass due to the original silica source, contains a minimum of 24% PbO. [2]
A funnel (E) contains a sample of soil or leaf litter (D), and a heat source (F), in this case an electric lamp (G), heats the sample. Animals escaping from the desiccation of the sample descend through a filter (C) into a preservative liquid (A) in a receptacle (B).
Cobalt glass for decoration. Cobalt glass—known as "smalt" when ground as a pigment—is a deep blue coloured glass prepared by including a cobalt compound, typically cobalt oxide or cobalt carbonate, in a glass melt.
