Caption:
This historic image depicts a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) scientist, who was dressed in his airtight, blue colored, protective suit, including a facemask, while he was seated in a Biosafety Level-4 laboratory (BSL-4). At this point in his lab related activities, he was analyzing a test tube containing what appeared to be a pink colored fluid, while inside the confines of a negatively pressurized flow hood. This type of hood, draws laboratory air into the hood, thereby, keeping any pathogens, liberated within the hood, from entering the laboratory environment. While the scientist was suited up, fresh air was supplied by the red, coiled tube above, which was attach to his suit.
