Actually those are two different types of pipets. In the background are three plastic wrapped disposable large volume pipets used to dispense from 1 milliliter up to 10 or 20 milliliters. The metal brass colored pipet has a disposable plastic barrel and the needles are the blunt tips that attach to the plastic barrel. This pipet is used to deliver highly precise volumes of blood/serum or reagent chemicals used in lab tests. It's actually made of anodized aluminum. That particular model seems to be type used in the 70's. It's amazing to me it was left behind because they are very expensive due to the required precision. The plastic disposable pipets are a more recent development. Sorry, don't mean to over analyze, but these types of shots are part of what attracts me as well as the great art shots.
