General view of chemist Janet Sheridan placing two oil samples into a Perkin-Elmer double-beam fluorescence spectrophotometer at a Coast Guard Research and Development Center laboratory. Per notations accompanying the photograph, the instrument is capable of analyzing two samples simultaneously and produces a single graph showing their identity and differences, aiding in the laboratory's work to track sources of oil spills.
