    Bacterial cells aggregating above the light organ of the Hawaiian bobtail squid

    7018

    A light organ (~0.5 mm across) of a juvenile Hawaiian bobtail squid, Euprymna scolopes. Movement of cilia on the surface of the organ aggregates bacterial symbionts (green) into two areas above sets of pores that lead to interior crypts. This image was taken using a confocal fluorescence microscope.
