Abstract
Abstract An enclosure for the study of biology including a generally rectangular casing having a front access door, a space at the bottom of the enclosure arranged to receive a fan or cooling unit, with air therefrom being delivered through vertical ducts at the enclosure sides, the enclosure also being suitable for photoperiodic use by virtue of having fluorescent lights therein at different levels arranged to deliver light in different spectral ranges.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
136 words
Biological study equipment comprising a rectangular cabinet having rear, bottom, top and sidewalls and having a front equipped with transparent doors and providing a hollow interior chamber, fluorescent light means mounted at the top of said chamber for delivering light in two spectral ranges, spaced tray support means in said chamber, at least one tray on one of said support means intermediate the height of said chamber and equipped with a transverse panel, fluorescent light tubEs below said panel and carried in the bottom of said tray for delivering light in a third spectral range in a direction below said tray, and control means operatively connected with said chamber for selectively controlling the light means whereby a plurality of biological experiments can be performed simultaneously, the interior surfaces of said walls are formed of light-reflective material.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
