  • Zaiger Genetics: Apricots in test tubes in the tissue culture lab run by Grant Zaiger, Floyd's son. Floyd Zaiger (Born 1926) is a biologist who is most noted for his work in fruit genetics. Zaiger Genetics, located in Modesto, California, USA, was founded in 1958. Zaiger has spent his life in pursuit of the perfect fruit, developing both cultivars of existing species and new hybrids such as the pluot and the aprium. Tissue culture Lab. 1983.

  • Proton decay experiment to determine the ultimate stability of matter..View of the entrance of Tokyo University's Proton Decay Experiment. 1,000 50-centimeter photomultiplier tubes line the 12-meter deep tank of water form the experiment. The water contains enough protons to provide an average of one decay event per year, an event that may be detected by these tubes as the particles from the decay cause a visible light phenomenon known as Cerenkov radiation. The experiment is taking place 914 meters underground in a zinc mine below Mt. Ikenoyama to minimize the effects of cosmic rays. Japan. (1985).

Dr. Koshiba is seen holding one of the 1,000 50 centimeter photomultiplier tubes that line the 12-meter deep tank of water that forms the experiment. The water contains enough protons to provide an average of one decay event per year, an event that may be detected by these tubes as the particles from the decay cause a visible light phenomenon known as Cerenkov radiation.

  • Proton decay experiment to determine the ultimate stability of matter..Proton decay. A technician [works with] a 20" (50cm) photomultiplier tube used in the search for proton decay. Hundreds of such tubes line a tank containing 9000 tons of water some 1000 meters underground in a zinc mine in Japan. Tokyo University's Kamiokande experiment was designed to look for decaying protons. If a proton decays, the charged particles it generates move through the water faster than light, and so generate blue 'Cerenkov' radiation. It is this that the photomultipliers detect. Computers then decide whether the event was a decay, or a collision with a solar neutrino. Japan. (1985)

  • Proton decay experiment to determine the ultimate stability of matter..The iron stack, which forms the proton decay experiment at Frejus, France. The stack consists of iron bars interspersed with Geiger tubes, and is designed to provide enough protons to bring the probability of observing a decay event into realistic proportions, made difficult by the half- life of the proton being ten to the power 34 years.

  • Proton decay experiment to determine the ultimate stability of matter. .Dr. Oscar Saavedra outside the door to the tunnel experiment with traffic streaming by. Oscar Saavedra, experimenter in the Mont Blanc Proton Decay group. The experiment consists of a 150-ton cube of iron sheets, interleaved with Geiger counter tubes. The cube has to be large enough to provide a mass of protons that will bring the probability of a decay event occurring within practical bounds, made difficult by the half life of the proton being 10 to the power 34 years.  (1985).

  • Proton decay experiment to determine the ultimate stability of matter. Dr. Narasimham. Gold mine at Kolar, site of India's proton decay experiment. The experiment consists of 150 tons of iron tube arranged in a cubic layout 6000 feet (1828 meters) below ground. Each tube is converted to act like a large Geiger counter, and is designed to detect the products from the decay of a proton. The half- life of the proton is estimated at 10 to the power 34 years, so the experiment has to contain as many protons as possible for the probability of an event occurring to be realistic. India.

  • Hypothermia Research: Research on exercise in cold water, part of an assessment of exercise regimes for victims of multiple sclerosis (MS). Here, at the University of Minnesota Hypothermia laboratory in Duluth, a volunteer rides an exercise bicycle while immersed in cold water at a temperature of 50 degrees Fahrenheit. A variety of probes measure his vital functions, skin & core body temperatures. The tube connected to his mouth delivers a monitored air supply. People afflicted by MS need regular exercise, but the rise in body temperature this provokes often causes uncontrollable shaking. Exercise in cold water helps counter this effect. MODEL RELEASED [1988]  .Hypothermia is a medical condition in which the victim's core body temperature has dropped to significantly below normal and normal metabolism begins to be impaired. This begins to occur when the core temperature drops below 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit). If body temperature falls below 32 °C (90 °F), the condition can become critical and eventually fatal. Body temperatures below 27 °C (80 °F) are almost uniformly fatal, though body temperatures as low as 14 °C (57.5 °F) have been known to be survivable.

Biosphere 2 Project undertaken by Space Biosphere Ventures, a private ecological research firm funded by Edward P. Bass of Texas.  Young visitor looks at tissue culture test tubes inside the Biosphere test greenhouses.  Biosphere 2 was a privately funded experiment, designed to investigate the way in which humans interact with a small self-sufficient ecological environment, and to look at possibilities for future planetary colonization. The $30 million Biosphere covers 2.5 acres near Tucson, Arizona, and was entirely self- contained. The eight ‘Biospherian’s’ shared their air- and water-tight world with 3,800 species of plant and animal life. The project had problems with oxygen levels and food supply, and has been criticized over its scientific validity. 1988
