Title: Glassware Identification Question
Post by: waypointhtrift on June 04, 2012, 05:11:33 PM

Im trying to find out what this thing is called. Someone donated it and Im trying to get an idea what it is used for. Its relatively lightweight glass but it looked like lab glass. Thank you for any assistance.

Re-sized and embedded.  I don't know the names of these sorts of glassware, and likewise, I'm curious as to what thery're called, and more important, how they're used.

I'm not saying it is, but it reminds me of a diffusion pump.
