Outline
Origins of the Familiar (& the Less Familiar)
pneumatic trough & gasometer | Bunsen burner (& spectroscope) | Erlenmeyer flask | Petri dish (& culture plates) | test tube | telescope (& radio telescope) | microscope (& electron microscope) | compass, galvanometer | magnetometer | oscilloscope (& "Crookes"/vacuum/cathode-ray tube)
Significance: Joule's mechanical equivalent of heat; Coulomb's law of electrostatic attraction
