Water still
Water still in a laboratory. The still is used for producing distilled water for use in experiments. Water in the main tank is heated by an element (brown, lower centre). Water vapour released rises into the top chamber where it is cooled by coiled pipes with cold water running through them. As the vapour cools it condenses and is collected. The distilled water is free from impurities and minerals

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a water still in a laboratory, an essential piece of equipment used for producing distilled water. The main tank holds the water which is heated by a prominent brown element located at the lower center. As the temperature rises, water vapor is released and ascends into the top chamber. To ensure condensation takes place, coiled pipes with cold water running through them are strategically placed within this upper chamber. As the vapor comes into contact with these coils, it cools down and transforms back into liquid form. This condensed liquid is then collected, resulting in pure and uncontaminated distilled water that is free from impurities and minerals. The precision and efficiency of this distilling process make it ideal for use in various scientific experiments conducted within laboratories. By eliminating any potential contaminants or unwanted substances present in regular tap water, researchers can rely on this distilled water to provide accurate results without interference. Science Photo Library has expertly captured this remarkable moment where science meets chemistry. The image beautifully depicts the intricate design of the cabinet housing all components necessary for distillation while emphasizing its importance as a fundamental tool for scientists across different fields of study.
