Image Gallery: Bacterial symbionts colonizing the crypts of a juvenile Hawaiian bobtail squid light organ
ID
7020
A light organ (~0.5 mm across) of a Hawaiian bobtail squid, Euprymna scolopes, stained blue. At the time of this image, the crypts within the tissues of only one side of the organ had been colonized by green-fluorescent protein-labeled Vibrio fischeri cells, which can be seen here in green. This image was taken using confocal fluorescence microscopy.
