Caption:
Captured in a laboratory environment, this image depicts the hands of a laboratory technician inserting a second cotton swab into a sterile glass specimen tube alongside a previously placed swab. The tube is then capped to help prevent specimen contamination. A cotton wad held in the technician’s right hand may be used to plug the tube opening between insertions.
