A science laboratory (for short, lab or science lab) is any area set-up for work in experimental or observational science. Areas like these are commonplace aboard explorational vessels such as Federation starships, space stations and outposts, under the auspices of Starfleet's sciences division.
Constitution class
The Constitution-class USS Enterprise had fourteen separate science labs during James T. Kirk's historic five-year mission as commanding officer. Kirk met psychologist Helen Noel at the 2265 science lab Christmas party. (TOS:"Operation -- Annihilate!," "Dagger of the Mind")
- Geological lab (TOS: "The Cage")
- Astrophysics lab
- Electromagnetic section (TOS: "The Apple")
- Bio and Medical labs (TOS: "Space Seed")
- Biopsy lab (TOS: "The Naked Time)
- Biochemistry lab (TOS: "This Side of Paradise")
- Chem lab (TOS: "Mirror, Mirror")
- Nuclear electronics lab (TOS: "Who Mourns for Adonais?")
Galaxy class
Galaxy class starships like the USS Enterprise-D have at least sixteen general-purpose science laboratories (TNG: "Suspicions") plus a number of dedicated facilities studying different disciplines. Extra labs could be installed on Deck 8 if needed. (TNG: "Liaisons") Typical science laboratories aboard a Galaxy class starship include:
- astronomical sciences
- astrophysics lab (TNG: "Disaster")
- stellar cartography lab (TNG: "Lessons")
- stellar cartography viewscreen (Star Trek: Generations)
- stellar dynamics (TNG: "Cause and Effect")
- planetary sciences
- geological lab (TNG: "Pen Pals")
- physical sciences
- engineering lab (TNG: "Suspicions")
- quantum mechanics (TNG: "Lessons")
- biological and medical sciences
- exobiology (TNG: "The Game")
- arboretum (TNG: "Night Terrors")
- hydroponics (TNG: "Disaster")
- cetacean ops (TNG: "Yesterday's Enterprise," "The Perfect Mate")
- sickbay lab (TNG: "Home Soil," "Evolution," "Clues," "The Game")
- medlabs one through four (TNG: "Ethics")
- cybernetics lab (TNG: "The Offspring")
- cultural anthropology
- archaeology lab (TNG: "The Chase")
- tactical lab (TNG: "The Emissary," "The Mind's Eye")
Intrepid class
Typical science laboratories aboard a Intrepid class starship include:
- stellar cartography
- astrometrics lab (USS Voyager only) (VOY: "Revulsion," "Year of Hell, Part I," "Shattered")
- bio and medical labs
- holography (VOY: "Fair Haven")
Sovereign class
Typical science laboratories aboard a Sovereign class starship include:
- stellar cartography (Star Trek: First Contact)
- bio and medical labs
Miscellaneous
- Deep Space 9 laboratory
- Cambridge
- biometrics lab
