How can a chemist become famous? Very simple! A reaction he discovered, a new substance, or even a reagent may be named after him! But if this is not enough, then such a scientist has another way to leave a... memory of himself: to develop a dish, instrument or other device that will be named after him. Over the years, the name of this dish will be shortened simply to the name of the scientist - in the laboratory we rarely say “Liebig refrigerator”, “Wurtz nozzle”. More often you can hear something like: “Who threw an unwashed Wurtz in the sink?” or: “Again, someone broke off Liebig’s paw.” The heroes of this book are devices created by scientists to aid their research. How many people know who Petri is, whose cup is used by both chemists and microbiologists, and who can say offhand who invented such a device as a pipette? Who should we remember with a kind word when we put drops in our eyes? Associate Professor of the Department of High-Molecular and Organoelement Compounds of the Chemical Institute named after. A. M. Butlerov. In 2019 he was awarded the badge “For Merit in Education”. He was a popularizer of science and one of the leading science journalists writing about chemistry.
