what are the apparatus needed in preforming the flame test??

I can only think of :

sodium metal,
platium wire,
conc. HCL,
bunsen burner,
cobalt blue glass

do I miss the others??

thanks....

for a flame test wouldn't u be just checking the flame colour of the metal? all u would need is the metal to be tested, a pair of tongs to hold it and a bunsen flame.
