one of you now represents all of you, forever, in a jar.

means a specimen is a single example preserved or examined to stand in for the whole category it came from.

from from latin specere, to look at or beholda specimen was literally a thing worth looking at, a sample offered up for inspection long before it meant a pickled frog in a lab.
