A glove box is usually made out of stainless steel but there also versions made of transparent polymer. There is at least one window with two holes (2) for the gloves. The inert atmosphere inside is constantly circulated through the purification system. Two HEPA dust filters (1) for the intake and output inside the box prevents dust from getting into the purification system and out of it.
