1. No microscope (no reason). They would use many reference texts, and a pill counting board type thing that you count on & then there is a spout to fill the bottle. If they compound (not many do anymore) they would use some measuring glassware & weight scales.
2. Some tools/equipment used in a pharmacy (retail or hospital setting): Class A prescription balance or an electronic balance Mortar and Pestle Graduated cylinder Volumetric flask Pipet Syringe Needle Filter (membrane or depth) Medicine dropper Low temperature hot plate Beaker Thermometer Ointment slab (porcelain or ground glass plate) Spatula Mold Laminar flow hood Biological safety cabinet High speed compounder, automixer, or micromixer Robotic dispensing machine Capsule filling machine Computer
