Beaker, Pipette, Measuring cylinder,
Conical Flask, Petri dish, etc.

乐乐:上周在校园里偶然遇到了一个老邻居。世界可真小啊。他带我去参观他的实验室了。
波比:他是什么专业的?
乐乐:他主修生物学。生物实验室配备了许多设备.对我来说都很新鲜，比如本生灯、大口烧杯、吸液管、量筒、锥形烧瓶、皮氏培养皿等。
波比:什么是皮氏培养皿?
乐乐:就是生物学家们用来培养细胞的玻璃器皿。在显微镜下，细胞被扩大好多倍，能看得很清楚。真神奇啊!
波比:对外语教学来说语言实验室是一个至关重要的途径。它为教师和学生提供了高级的多媒体语言教学设备。
乐乐:所以我每天花一小时在语言实验室学习我的西班牙语。
波比:你觉得怎么样?
乐乐:哥伦比亚大学的多媒体实验室设备齐全。我可以听磁带、看录像或者使用计算机在虚拟实验室在线练习口语。
