On the occasion of the two hundredth anniversary of the birth of Robert Wilhelm Bunsen (1811-1899) in 2011, we have prepared a historical study of all instruments or devices this German chemist used, and the improvements he introduced in them. The main aim of our study has a teaching purpose: helping Chemistry students (either High School or first-year college students) get involved with this subject. Hence, our work has two different parts: firstly, the historical study of the equipment and, secondly, its didactic application.
