This is a photograph of a baby being weighed. The baby is placed on a giant scale that is made to support the baby with no fear that it is going to fall out.

An infant lies in a specialized incubator bed, elevated on a mechanical stand. Surrounding the setup are medical instruments and trays placed on tables, with a curtain partially visible at the side.
