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).
