  <ThumbnailAltText>A pair of gloved hands, wearing light blue nitrile gloves, are working in a laboratory setting. The person on the left is holding a large, clear, plastic vessel with a conical bottom, which is attached to a long, red-and-white striped pipette. The pipette is connected to a white hand-held device. The person's other hand, on the right, is holding a smaller clear bottle with a blue liquid inside, which is also attached to a pipette-like device. The bottle appears to be glowing blue. The background shows a stainless steel fume hood or biosafety cabinet. There are other lab items on the counter, including clear plastic tubes in a rack, a white notebook, and an orange-capped bottle. The overall impression is one of scientific research or experimentation.</ThumbnailAltText>
