What are the modern tools and techniques in biology?

Answer 1

1. Magnifying Glass - it is used to produce a magnified image of an object

2. Petri Dish - it is used for holding a culture medium upon which cells, bacteria and viruses can be grown and studied

3. cover slip - it is a protector that goes over tissues with mounting media, this keeps the tissue on the slide from degrading

4. thermometer - it is used for measuring temperature or temperature gradient using a variety of different principles

5. test tube - it is used by chemists to hold, mix or heat small quantities of solid or liquid chemicals, especially for qualitative and experiment and essays

6. microscope - it is used for viewing objects that are too small to be seen by the naked eyes

7. funnel - it is used to channel liquid or fine-grained substances into containers with a small opening

8. dissecting pan - it is a pan where you dissect organisms so the organs or fluid wont spread away.

9. glass slide - it is used to place an item on and put it under a microscope to view

10. medicine dropper - it is used to measure small amount of liquids usually in milligrams

11. dissecting scissors - it is used for slicing a specimen during dissection

12. forceps - it is used for grasping, manipulating or extracting, especially such an instrument used by a surgeon

13. scalpel - it is a fixed blade used in surgery and dissection

14. beaker - it is used as a laboratory container and mixing jar

15. test tube rack - it is used to hold the test tube so the solution/substance in it wont spread away

16. dissecting pin - it is used to hold open the specimen that you're dissecting

17. meter stick - its a stick that is 100 centimeters long, roughly 39 inches. Generally used to measure distance.

18. Bunsen burner - it is commonly used in scientific laboratories, consisting essentially of a hollow tube which is fitted vertically around the flame and which has an opening at the base to admit air.

19. graduated cylinder - is a piece of laboratory equipment used to accurately measure out volumes of objects for use in labs.

20. triple-bean balance - it is used to find the mass of an object

21. safety goggles - it is used as protection of eye from dust, flying debris, chemical splashes, etc.

22. pipette - A piece of laboratory glassware, shaped like a thin tube with a bulge in the middle, that allows better accuracy when measuring certain volumes (hence the range of sizes) e.g. when making solutions or samples for titration.

23. probe - its a slender surgical instrument for exploring the depth or direction of a wound, sinus, or the like.

24. safety mask - its a mask used when doing experiment, dissection or surgery to protect us from poisonous gasses, viruses and dustsRead more:
