Petty Officer 3rd Class Kendrick Minion looks at a bacteria slide through a microscope while Petty Officer 3rd Class Matthew Hampton (back) visually identifies a growing bacterium in a petri-dish. The microbiology lab allows hospital corpsmen to look at a blood smear on a petri-dish, visually looking for growing bacteria and then look at it again for verification through a microscope. The final step is to put the sample through a microbiology analyzer machine which is able to identify the type of infection and can identify which antibiotics can be used to kill it. Both Minion and Hampton are Hospital Corpsmen at Naval Health Clinic Charleston. (U.S. Navy photo/Petty Officer 1st Class Jennifer Hudson)
