WELCOME TO THE LABORATORY
Is it your first time in a Laboratory?
Being in a Laboratory is exciting because not everyone has a chance to experience it but there are some rules that should be abided to avoid any accidents. Here are some information to give you a kick start 😉
MICROSCOPE
A microscope is an instrument that makes an enlarged image of a small object, thus revealing details too small to be seen by the unaided eye. The most familiar kind of microscope is the optical microscope, which uses visible light focused through lenses.
MICROSCOPE SLIDE
A microscope slide is a long thin piece of glass that specimens are placed on for study under a microscope. It is easier to manipulate the slide, rather than the specimens, into the best position for viewing, as many are fragile and microscopic. Slides normally measure three inches by one inch and can be made of clear plastic in addition to glass.
WATCH GLASS
A watch glass is a round, concave glass dish used for evaporation in chemistry. It can also be employed for weighing solids and as a lid for flasks and beakers.
BEAKERS
Beakers are useful as a reaction container or to hold liquid or solid samples. They are also used to catch liquids from titrations and filtrates from filtering operations. Bunsen Burners are sources of heat. Burets are for addition of a precise volume of liquid.
GLASS TUBING
Glass tubing is used to connect other pieces of lab equipment. It can be cut, bent and stretched for a variety of uses.
THE DO'S & DONT'S
Preventive Plan
Accidents may occur anytime and anywhere when you are incautious enough and it can lead to damaging properties or worse losing a life that is why prevention is better than cure and regret.
