Superintendent of Biology Edward "Doc" Schneberger, who is wearing a long white coat, is sitting on a stool and looking through a microscope at a small table in the laboratory of the Nevin Fish Hatchery. Other items on the table are a light source, and a balance scale in a wooden case. There is a small electric motor on a wooden box under the table. Bottles and flasks line the shelves on the wall behind the table, and a refrigerator and sink are on the right.
