Hoffman Voltameter is a specialized laboratory apparatus used to demonstrate and measure the electrolysis of water into hydrogen and oxygen gases. It consists of a central reservoir connected to two vertical graduated gas-collection tubes (electrodes) and is typically made from borosilicate glass for chemical resistance and clarity. Platinum or carbon electrodes are used at the base of each tube to conduct electric current. This apparatus is widely used in chemistry and physics education to visually demonstrate the principles of electrolysis, electrochemical reactions, gas laws, and stoichiometry.

Microscope mirror
A Microscope Mirror is an optical accessory used to direct and focus external light onto the specimen being examined under a microscope. Traditionally mounted beneath the microscope stage, the mirror reflects ambient or artificial light upward through the condenser and specimen to illuminate the sample. Microscope mirrors typically have one flat and one concave reflective surface, allowing users to adjust the intensity and focus of the light beam. Made from highly polished glass or metal with reflective coatings, these mirrors are essential in microscopes lacking built-in illumination systems or as backup lighting aids. They enhance visibility, contrast, and detail, making them valuable in educational, medical, and research laboratory settings.
