Caption:

This technician was adding a cardboard, cylindrical container to an opened laboratory freezer that already contained numbers of like containers, all of which contained specimens of field collected specimens, which would be preserved for later examination, while being kept at a very low temperature. Note that each container had been labeled, each with its respective study acronym, as well as the collection dates, which is extremely important information that would later enable the technician, or others involved in the study, to locate any specific specimens from amongst all other stored materials.
