    7015

    Vibrio fischeri cells (~ 2 mm), labeled with green fluorescent protein (GFP), passing through a very narrow bottleneck in the tissues (red) of the Hawaiian bobtail squid, Euprymna scolopes, on the way to the crypts where the symbiont population resides. This image was taken using a confocal fluorescence microscope.
