Original - A technician in the process of placing a Mantoux tuberculin skin test in the recipient’s forearm. The test is used to evaluate people for latent tuberculosis (TB) infection.

Reason: High technical standard and resolution, showing a common test that nearly everyone has to take. Bring attention to TB. A third of the world's population are thought to be infected with M. tuberculosis, and new infections occur at a rate of about one per second.

Support, a strong image. I'd be inclined to say that medical images fall under Biology- we certainly have other medical images there. As an aside, I didn't have this, I had a different one. Our articles would suggest I had the Heaf test, which, sadly, is unillustrated. J Milburn (talk) 21:17, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- True, but if you was to get one now, you'd have this test. ;-) — raeky T 21:20, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Mild support because the photo is pretty good and I'm not a trypanophobe, but it's a little uninteresting for featured, but maybe, as J Milburn says, we need more medical media. --I'ḏ♥One 21:32, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, it's fairly eye-catching, and I can assure you that it "illustrates the subject in a compelling way, making the viewer want to know more" in at least some cases, as I went and read the article thinking "wait, I didn't have that, did I?" J Milburn (talk) 21:36, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Definite Support Clearly shows the test and at high quality. Well done. upstate NYer 04:40, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support. It'd be nice to see more of this sort of photo. Very educational. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 11:24, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
