Pneumatic trough with bulb suspended from hanger, as invented by Stephen Hales. A pneumatic trough is a piece of laboratory apparatus used for collecting gases, such as hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. It is mainly made of glass or various fibres and are of various sizes. It was invented by Stephen Hales. [1]
The right-hand drawing is about half the scale of the others and shows the shelf in use inside a pneumatic trough. A beehive shelf is a piece of laboratory equipment, usually of pottery, used to support a receiving jar or tube while a gas is being collected over water with a pneumatic trough. It is used so that when the gas emerges from the ...
Pneumatic trough, glass collecting cylinders and other equipment used by Priestley in his experiments on gases. The right-hand cylinder exhibits a sprig of mint which showed that plants generated oxygen from carbon dioxide Dedication to Lord Shelburne in volume I of Experiments and Observations on Different Kinds of Air (1774)
Robert Boyle's air pump. In the history of science, pneumatic chemistry is an area of scientific research of the seventeenth, eighteenth, and early nineteenth centuries. . Important goals of this work were the understanding of the physical properties of gases and how they relate to chemical reactions and, ultimately, the composition of

Preparation of microbiological samples in a laminar chamber. A laminar flow cabinet or tissue culture hood is a partially enclosed bench work surface designed to prevent contamination of biological samples, semiconductor wafer, or any particle-sensitive materials.
Aside from its laboratory function, the eudiometer is also known for its part in the "Volta pistol". [6] Volta invented this instrument in 1777 for the purpose of testing the "goodness" of air, analyzing the flammability of gases, or to demonstrate the chemical effects of electricity. Volta's Pistol had a long glass tube that was closed at the ...
