Post your glassware!

I'd love to see some of the things you guys have around. Specifically specialized glass, ie condensers, concentrators etc.

I don't have anything but basic beakers and flasks around so there's no reason to post. But I will be obtaining a lot of free glassware soon including one of these, slightly older though Pyrex Microscale Organic Chemistry Kit

I feel that on a micro scale, half the stuff gets lost to coating the glassware that you end up with a couple drops of product, which isn't much to learn from :(

That's all down to technique, which can be optimised. Mayo, Pike & Butcher's book on microscale work is a really excellent tome. I don't know if it is in the library here, but a hard copy from eBay is an excellent investment.

I end up with a lot of the free samples that my company gets in for review. :P
I might get around to taking new pics once the glassware storage is cleaned up.

Hmm I could use that, anyone have a copy online or a link to one?

I searched but found nothing online or in the library.
