Very nice idea.  What would really enhance it is to add some ports, like
cryovac stuff often has.  A couple of those tanks should have right angles short
cylinders intersecting them and a plate bolted on with a viewport.  Oh, I know
what just struck me about it- how do you get in or out of the clear cylinder?
It should have an access point of some sort.
    My inspiration for this sort of stuff is the old high powered defense lasers
I used to.... er, never mind.  Just imagine CO2 with a couple of kilowatts (like
the AVCO types) or the old deuterium flouride systems.  You get my drift.
    The deckplate is great.  The center looks like it might be onion pattern and
radial.  Oh, and now I see what is odd- the pipes that intersect the tanks just
run right into them with no couplings.  There could be at least a manifold block
of some sort.  That would increase the realism at least 50% over leading brands
of simulated cloning/teleporting devices, heh heh.

Cheers!
