Caption:
Depicted here in this 2007 photograph, was a Centers for Disease Control microbiologist, and Special Pathogens Branch (SPB) staff member, as he was in the process of counting viral plaques within fixed monolayers of cells, which had been set atop a light box. While inside the organization’s Biosafety Level 4 (BSL-4) laboratory, this activity was taking place, thereby, enabling this scientist to titrate a viral stock. This laboratorian was outfitted in an orange, air-tight, self-contained, positively-pressurized suit, which kept him free of possible contamination. See PHIL 10728 for another view of this activity.
