[Python] "Object has not attribute "get_width" in Python

This was a simple task of placing an image on the screen. It worked. I decided to start trying to make a class. Now it does not work. The error I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
Group\Science\python\Photosynthesis\Photosynthesis.py", line 37, in <module>
Equipment_img = Myexperiment(50, 50, Equipment_img, 1.0)
File "c:\Users\Owner\Documents\Glamorgan Fungus Group\Science\python\Photosynthesis\Photosynthesis.py", line 17, in __init__
width = image.get_width()


I think this error is just going to continue to the next line... I think the error has to do with surfaces but I would be lying if I said I knew entirely what that means.

Tried simplifying the class but I just kept throwing up errors. I know this is me fundamentally not grasping something in Python. Hoping for a Eureka moment.

import pygame

pygame.init()

#Display Window
SCREEN_HEIGHT = 800
SCREEN_WIDTH = 1200

screen = pygame.display.set_mode((SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT))
pygame.display.set_caption('Photosynthesis')

Equipment_img = pygame.image.load("whole_experiment.png").convert_alpha()

#Load up the Images of the experiment
class Myexperiment ():
def __init__ (self, x, y, image, scale):
width = image.get_width()
height = image.get_height()
self.image = pygame.transform.scale(image, (int(width*scale), int(height*scale)))
self.rect = self.image.get_rect()
self.rect.topleft = (x, y)

def draw(self):
screen.blit(self.image, (self.rect.x, self.rect.y))

#The Game loop as always.
run = True
while run:

screen.fill((202, 228, 241))


Equipment_img = Myexperiment(50, 50, Equipment_img, 1.0)

#Event handler
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
run = False

pygame.display.update()
pygame.quit()
