Neonatal infant, X-ray
Neonatal infant. Coloured X-ray of a one month old baby. The babys spine (down centre), heart (pink, upper centre) and ribs (upper left and right) are seen. Various life support devices are visible

Diuretic effect, computer artwork
Diuretic effect. Computer artwork of the effect of diuretics (grey barriers) on a renal tubule (red) inside the kidney. These tubules regulate the levels of chemicals such as sodium (orange)

Pneumatic tubes, 19th century
Pneumatic tubes. Historical artwork of a pneumatic messaging system at the Paris Post Office, France, in the 19th century

Soviet space food and heater, 1962
Soviet space food and heater. In-flight food heater (left) with food tubes (right), designed to be used in space by Soviet cosmonauts

Soviet space food. Selection of the food taken onboard space flights by Soviet cosmonauts. The problems of preparing and eating food whilst in zero gravity led to scientists producing packaged

Neutrino detector. Researcher checking a photomultiplier tube (PMT) in the Borexino neutrino detector. Neutrinos are elementary particles produced by nuclear reactions in stars

Haemolymph samples in Eppendorf tubes. Haemolymph (body fluid) is obtained from the body cavity (coelom) of insects that have been exposed to bacteria and fungi to trigger an immune response

Sperm bank. Tubes of sperm being removed from frozen (cryogenic) storage. The container is filled with liquid nitrogen, which keeps the sperm stored at approximately -200 degrees Celsius

Urinary tract infection, computer artwork
Urinary tract infection. Conceptual computer artwork of bacteria (green) in the urinary tract (represented by metal tubes)

Penne served in a bowl. Penne is a type of pasta made into ribbed tubes

Lipid bilayer membrane, molecular model
Lipid bilayer membrane. Molecular model simulation of a lipid bilayer membrane consisting of POPC lipids (green), surrounded by water molecules (red and white)

Tubes of paint

Proteomics research equipment. Close-up of a tubing entering the harvesting box of a whole gel eluter. This is a machine designed to recover proteins separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis

Pipetting
MODEL RELEASED. Pipetting liquid into an Eppendorf tube

Microtubes stored in a rack. Microtubes can be used in centrifuges, where a fluid is separated into its constituent parts by rapid spinning

Columbus family tissue samples
Tissue samples. One tube contains a sample of tissue from what may be the remains of the Italian explorer Christopher Columbus

Z-DNA, molecular model
Z-DNA. Molecular model of a strand of Z-DNA, the rare, left-handed form of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). DNA is a helical molecule (here spiralling across the image)

DNA loop, molecular model
DNA loop. Theoretical molecular model of a loop structure for DNA in its chromatin form. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is a helical molecule (here the helix itself forms a circular loop)

DNA nanotechnology, computer artwork
DNA nanotechnology. Conceptual computer artwork of DNA nanotechnology, showing carbon nanotubes (allotropes of carbon) surrounding a molecule of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)

Eppendorf tubes

Sample tubes

Sample vials. Liquids of different colours stored in sample vials. This type of equipment is used in a wide range of laboratory work, from analysis of forensic samples to medical research

Reforestation. Tree saplings are protected inside plastic tubes. Reforestation can be a commercial venture for wood and paper production, or an environmental initiative following deforestation

Marrow stem, light micrograph
Marrow stem. Light micrograph of a section through the stem of a marrow (Curcurbita sp.), showing the sieve plates in the phloem. A single collateral vascular bundle can be seen
