specimen jars
Laboratory collection containers
Specimen jars are glass or plastic containers used to hold samples for examination or preservation.
In laboratories and medical settings, they collect biological samples like urine or tissue.
In natural history, they preserve organisms in fluid: rows of specimen jars filled with pale sea creatures.
The image of something floating in a specimen jar evokes both scientific detachment and slight creepiness.
