Light micrograph of bioluminescent plankton glowing bright blue as it is disturbed by moving out of the water with a sieve. This plankton is the tropical marine dinoflagellate Pyrocystis fusiformis, forming spindle-shaped cells. It forms huge swarms in warm seas, photosynthesizing during the day. At night the swarms produce light when disturbed, through a chemical reaction involving a luciferin molecule being oxidized by a luciferase enzyme. Cultured at the Culture Collection of Algae at the University of Cologne, Germany. Magnification 100x when printed 10 centimetres wide.
