Our newest desk set has a certain War of the Worlds charm to it. The black-plastic 5-1/2" square-ish base holds a standard 3-1/2" square sticky-note pad. The aluminum rod curving from the base displays an LCD clock, and hides the small magnet. What does the magnet do? Holds an elliptical ball point pen suspended above the pad. The pen's refillable and the included button cell battery can be replaced.

We don't like to brag, but it's tough not to in a case like this. This is a wonderful pen-shaped laser pointer, 5-1/4" long, flat black or silver with gold pocket clip and head. It throws a red point a loong way (we've thrown it two city blocks at night, and it would've gone farther, but buildings got in the way). And what are we so proud of? We've seen a very similar item-not identical, mind you, but essentially the same-in one of those glossy, toys-for-grown-men catalogs. Their price? $40! We're proud not to be profit-mongers; buy it here and you can take pride in your smart shopping habits. Batteries included. (Please note color change to include silver.)

91071 LASER POINTER |
It came from either outer space, or a projection TV. Our largest Fresnel lens measures 49-1/8" x 37-1/8" x 1/16" thick, with a 42" focal length. Build your own lighthouse or projection TV, teach optical properties to students, or just turn your 21-inch model into one with a tavern-size picture. Held in the sun, the lens will concentrate rays enough to cook eggs or torch lumber. And, under adult supervision in the parking lot, employees of a certain un-named scientific and surplus purveyor actually melted pennies in seconds. Extremely cool and done strictly, we assure you, to determine the lens's focal length. Do not, we shouldn't have to remind you, store this puppy in direct sunlight. Or let the underage or under-mature sneak it into the sunlight.

Rejoice, we have finally found a source of reasonably priced borosilicate lab glassware. This is the kind of glass in the trade marked Pyrex(tm) and Kimax(tm) labware. The stuff you can put right over the flame of the Bunsen burner, or directly onto the hot plate. This stuff is imported from China, and is considered student grade, which is good enough for anything but the most exotic applications. We have beakers, test tubes, graduated cylinders and flasks. Compare the prices below and you will see that they are around half the U.S. equivalent. Call us for larger quantity prices.

You'll get (638) of these clear-glass 2ml bottles (15mm X 32mm tall) packed in a plastic sleeve. Just the ticket for essential (or even non-essential, we suppose) oils. And in these quantities there's also almost certainly a craft, art or architectural project waiting to be created. For your stoppering convenience, we just happen to have the appropriate #00 corks available in the same quantities.

Affordable, adaptable lab equipment for serious scientists with laughable budgets.
