    Bacterial symbionts colonizing the crypts of a juvenile Hawaiian bobtail squid light organ

    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.
