Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 51, No. 2, pg. 79:
In the deep sea, pressure can reach 3,500 pounds per square inch. To sample fluids (and microbes in them) at these depths, WHOI scientists and engineers invented a device called an Isobaric Gas-Tight sampler. Made of a titanium cylinder, it can suck in bacteria and fluids and maintain them at deep-sea pressures, even when the sampler comes back to the surface.
