    Pores on the surface of the Hawaiian bobtail squid light organ

    7016

    The light organ (~0.5 mm across) of a juvenile Hawaiian bobtail squid, Euprymna scolopes, stained blue. The two pairs of ciliated appendages, or “arms,” on the sides of the organ move Vibrio fischeri bacterial cells closer to the two sets of three pores at the base of the arms that each lead to an interior crypt. This image was taken using a confocal fluorescence microscope.
