  Bunsen
Bunsen was one of the founders of the field of spectroscopy.
The Bunsen burner was the forerunner of the gas-stove burner and the gas furnace.
The Bunsen burner consists of a metal tube on a base with a gas inlet at the lower end of the tube, which may have an adjusting valve; openings in the sides of the tube can be regulated by a collar to admit as much air as desired.

  ROBERT WILHELM BUNSEN
Ironically, Bunsen will be remembered by generations of chemistry students for a mere improvement in a burner design, when his other contributions to the field of chemistry are vastly more significant and diverse, covering such areas as organic chemistry, arsenic compounds, gas measurements and analysis, the galvanic battery, elemental spectroscopy and geology.
Bunsen was born on March 31, 1811 in Göttingen, Germany, the youngest of four sons.
Bunsen's habit was to assign a scientific task to his students and then to work with a student only as long as required to reach some measure of independence.

  Bunsen burner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A common misconception is that the Bunsen burner was invented by German chemist Robert Wilhelm Bunsen.
Bunsen burners have largely been supplanted by hot plates, heating mantles, and other similar electric heating elements as sources of heat in laboratories.
However, the bunsen burner still heats things much more quickly than a hot plate and is still useful in sterilization (especially in sterilizing the wire probes used to culture petri dishes) and in flame tests.
