| Description: | The National Cancer Institute's Natural Products Branch at the Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research is the largest program to collect materials worldwide from marine, plant, and microbial sources so they may be studied for possible medical uses. Here, a technician grinds dried plant material to a fine powder in a device called a hammer mill. The lab also keeps a band saw on site in order to reduce the size of branches prior to grinding. |
