What are the different biological instruments and how are they used?

Answer 1

1. A Clinostat is a very simple device like a very slow moving exhaust fan that places plants, small organisms or even cells growing in culture on a rotating platform. This rotation drives the biosystem under consideration to the gravity vector forces from all the directions.
2. A scalpel is like a surgical knife, small in size, but extremely sharp. Dissecting scalpels are an indispensable tool in any Biology lab where dissections are done. Scalpels consist of two parts. Scalpel handles and Scalpel blades. While Scalpel handles are used repeatedly, Scalpel blades are generally discarded after use. Scalpels are available both as disposable or reusable.
3. A microscope is an instrument to see objects too small for the naked eye. The science of investigating small objects using such an instrument is called microscopy. Microscopic means invisible to the eye unless aided by a microscope.
4. Magnifying glass is of great use in many types of laboratories. In biology laboratory students use the magnifying glasses to take a closer look at plant and animal specimens. Things like a strand of hair, leaf structures etc. can be observed with great detail using magnifying lenses. A magnifying glass is a lens looking through which make things appear of bigger size as a result intricate details of the objects can be observed.
5. Insect Storage Boxes in varying shapes and sizes are most commonly used in biology laboratories for storing different insects. Since dead insects are very delicate, it is important to store them carefully, in order to make them last for years.
