In the past, scientists constructed their own laboratory apparatus prior to the ubiquity of interchangeable ground glass joints. Today, commercially available parts connected by ground glass joints are preferred; where specialized glassware are required, they are made to measure using commercially available glass tubes by specialist glassblowers.
Laboratory glassware may be made from several types of glass, each with different capabilities and used for different purposes. Borosilicate glass is a type of transparent glass that is composed of boron oxide and silica, its main feature is a low coefficient of thermal expansion making it more resistant to thermal shock than most other glasses ...
A set of standard 75 by 25 mm microscope slides. The white area can be written on to label the slide. A microscope slide (top) and a cover slip (bottom) A microscope slide is a thin flat piece of glass, typically 75 by 26 mm (3 by 1 inches) and about 1 mm thick, used to hold objects for examination under a microscope.
A test tube, also known as a culture tube or sample tube, is a common piece of laboratory glassware consisting of a finger-like length of glass or clear plastic tubing, open at the top and closed at the bottom. Test tubes are usually placed in special-purpose racks.
Uses Test tube: Folin-Wu tube: Glass slide mycole and cover slips: in microscopy, serology, etc. as the solid backing on which test samples are Petri dish: used for preparation of culture media and the culture of organisms they are in Glass beaker: reagent storage Glass flask: gastric acid, or other fluid titration: Pasteur pipette
used to spread the cut thin slices onto water using surface tension from where it is placed onto glass slides Ryle's tube or nasogastric tube: used for nasogastric suction (or at times introduction of food or drugs). video link: FNAC needles: used for fine needle aspiration of material from inside the body; used for diagnostic examinations of ...

Durham's tube: used to detect gas production in sugar fermentation media; the tube is placed in an inverted fashion so that gases produced get trapped in it and do not float away to the surface Gas-pak: releases gases to remove oxygen from a closed container, usually for anaerobiosis: Glass slide: used to observe specimens under microscope
