LAB IN A PEA POD -- Three principal components of Sandia Laboratory's integrated micro chem lab are small enough to fit easily inside a snow-pea pod. Shown from left to right are a surface acoustic wave sensor array, a preconcentrator that collects chemical vapors for gas-phase analysis and a miniature gas chromatograph column. The entire system, designed to also analyze liquid samples, fits into a package about the size of a thick paperback book. (Photo by Randy Montoya)
