A tripod is a general term for a stand or support
with three legs. It is often used to support a camera
gun, or to place above the Bunsen burner in the science lab
to heat/boil anything.
In the science laboratory, a metal gauze is placed on top of it to
give support to the beaker (An iron ring clamp with a ring stand
can often be used instead and an iron ring allows for easy height adjustment).
