The Containment Unit Monitor[1] (also known as Containment Monitor)[2] is a monitoring device used by the Ghostbusters to look into the Containment Unit's universe.
History[]
The Containment Unit Monitor is located in the basement and soon after in Egon Spengler's laboratory in the Firehouse.[3] [4] When looking inside via a scope, the person can make visual confirmation of specific entities or track them through a schematic of the universe.
The Ghostbusters wanted to see Samhain's reaction to being deposited into the Containment Unit. To their amazement, Samhain was not irate and was seated. Egon surmised he was waiting for the next time he would be freed. Janine Melnitz used it to monitor Egon Spengler as he ventured into the universe to extract the Ghosts of Christmas.
