Nansen bottle
An oceanographic water-sampling bottle, made of a metal alloy that is little reactive with seawater, equipped with a rotary valve at each end so that when it is rotated at depth the valves close and lock shut, entrapping a water sample and setting the reversing thermometers. This bottle is named for its designer, Fridtjof Nansen.
