Critical Commentary

This is a fume hood, where the samples stored in the biobank are taken. A nurse working for the biobank is in charge of keeping the fume hood supplied with organs from which samples can be taken. It’s possible to see the big knife and the cutting board (right) used to slice organs such as the tumorous ovary shown above.
