Unknown Lab Glassware
I've picked up a couple interesting pieces this weekend and have no idea what they're called or how they're used.
The small glass bottle has two holes on the top. I'm guessing for the electrodes
The electrodes go to these plates
The second piece has a common filled with fluid. On each end are two plates. In the top middle is were the liquid is put in through two 10/30 joints.
Filled in the arm going to each plate seems to be filled with mercury
The two 10/30 joints.
I would appreciate any help to identify these pieces. I don't know where to begin looking. Thanks.

Is the glass inside the tubes etched by any chance?
Looks like the tubes used to produce Xenon oxides via high voltage disccharge of Xenon flourides.

I would be really shocked if they did, because they won't be just etched but plain "chaulked".

No, the gasses/liquids were very dry so very little etching took place but some none-the-less..

I was able to procure some lab glassware but I'm not sure what they are or what purpose they serve or their names. Can someone help me out
identifying the following glasswares?

I would be happy if people would learn to push the Macro button (flower) on their cameras. Also stop using cellphones to take these pictures.

More off-topic: I've never understood why modern camera's don't come with the flash turned entirely off by default. Auto or on should be conscious
decisions by the photographer—requiring a level of intelligence sufficient to operate the basic settings.

I don't see it as off topic bfesser as the topic is look at my grainy out of focus pics and tell me what this is. No resolution internally, those
could be dead frog leg electrodes in the third pic for all I can see. I do hope the OP does not take this as a personal attack. For all I know a
cellphone camera is all they have. No crime to not have a hires camera neither did I most of my life. Just using this thread as an example of
something I have seen for years in threads/questions like this. So please take no offense darel this is not a rant towards you personally. Rather, it
is a point needing to be made on many threads where the images here are such a good example of my point the thought is best expressed here. Apologies
in advance if you feel I am directing rudeness towards yourself.

No doubt but I never saw the thread before it was recently brought up again. It seemed a perfect place to use the first pics for examples and inform
members of the importance of minimum photography standards. From the thread http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=23588#...
I give examples, three pics of mine and the rest by Organikum showing how pics should be taken at minimum. bfesser my DSCF-707 has the same nightmare
issue of lack of auto flash control. So bad if taking many macro pics I ended up taping down the pop up flash. Here are examples from mine and
Organikum's images:
