31. Urine Cup With Lid

• A cup to place urine for testing with a lid for
  cover.

8
32. Refractometer

• Any of several instruments used to measure the
  index of refraction of a substance.

9
33. Centrifuge

• An apparatus consisting essentially of a
  compartment spun about a central axis to separate
  contained materials of different specific
  gravities, or to separate colloidal particles
  suspended in a liquid.

10
34. Centrifuge Tube

• Calibrated, tube-shaped glass container used with
  laboratory centrifuges for volumetric analysis of
  separable (solid-liquid or immiscible liquid)
  samples.

11
35. Microscope Slide

• A small flat rectangular piece of glass on which
  specimens can be mounted for microscopic study.

12
36. Microscope Slid Cover Slip

• Cover slips help give a better view of any small
  object under a microscope or magnifying glass,
  plus allow few air bubbles.

13
37. Dual-View Microscope

• A monocular microscope with a second, vertical
  viewing port. The vertical port can be used with
  an eyepiece for a second person, such as an
  instructor, to view the specimen, or it can be
  used with an adapter and a video or still camera.

14
38. Monocular Microscope

• Microscope having one eyepiece, so that the
  object can be viewed.

15
39. Binocular Microscope

• Microscope having two eyepieces, one for each
  eye, so that the object can be viewed with both
  eyes.

16
40. Vacutainer Tubes (red/lavender)

• A tube used for the collection and storage of
  blood.

17
41. 21 Gauge Vacutainer Needle

• Needles used for vacuum blood extraction.

18
42. Tourniquet

• A device, typically a tightly encircling bandage,
  used to check bleeding by temporarily stopping
  the flow of blood through a large artery in a
  limb.

19
43. Wintrobe Tube

• A tube to collect blood for the Wintertobe method.

20
44. Applicator Sticks

• An instrument for applying something, such as
  medicine or glue.

21
45. Coulter Machine

• Measures hemoglobin as well as the white cell
  count, red cell count, hematocrit, and red cell
  indices.

22
46. Coulter Blood Mixer

• A machine that mixes blood.

23
47. Unopette Kit

• An instrument that has a kit to accurately dilute
  the sample before loading into the hemacytometer
  for counting.

24
48. Hemacytometer

• An instrument for counting the number of blood
  cells in a measured volume of blood.

25
49. Lab Counter

• A small counter with a button used to count
  things you see in a specimen.

26
50. Capillary Tubes

• A tube sufficiently fine so that capillary
  attraction of a liquid into the tube is
  significant.
