Hi elmo97. I have never worked in a laboratory…some scientists don’t but in my first job for the Royal Navy, I used to assess people’s exposure to nasty substances in their job, including noise too (although not strictly a substance but a physical hazard).
The most oddest piece of equipment I used to use was sound level meter which measured how much noise people were exposed to. It was rather bulky but it was always a conversation starter when people saw me with it so I got to talk to lots of men! (I was a young single lady at the time, I might add):)

elmo are you actually a computer virus that generates questions (well done!)?
I like the door on the way out as it means I’m going home….!
No, just kidding, I like the fancy laser-based microscope called the confocal microscope. It lets you shoot lasers at live cells to light up fluorescent probes/dyes/antibodies that you’ve treated the cells with. It makes amazing pictures.
