The Research Core is a room in Metroid Prime, in the Phendrana Drifts area. The room is fairly large and round, and has four levels with ramps between them, the upper three each having a balcony. Several of the many tanks in the walls contain Metroids. The room is dark upon Samus's first entry, and darker still on later entries. Scanning three computer screens found on the various levels will remove the Force Field containing the Thermal Visor, which is at the bottom of the room encased in a central tank.

| - The Research Core is a room in Metroid Prime, in the Phendrana Drifts area. The room is fairly large and round, and has four levels with ramps between them, the upper three each having a balcony. Several of the many tanks in the walls contain Metroids. The room is dark upon Samus's first entry, and darker still on later entries. Scanning three computer screens found on the various levels will remove the Force Field containing the Thermal Visor, which is at the bottom of the room encased in a central tank. Upon acquisition of the visor, the room will become pitch black, the upper door locks and several Shadow Pirates will appear to ambush Samus, and the Metroids break out of their tanks when passed by. After the Pirates have been defeated, the door must be energized to make it usable; this is done by shooting the conduit near it with the Wave Beam, which is visible using the Thermal Visor. The Metroids will also break out of their tanks at this point and will hinder Samus Aran's ascent. It is referred to as the Brig on page 74 of Metroid Prime: The Official Nintendo Player's Guide.
