Fluorescent Worlds

An experimental gallery featuring pictures of various sizes.

1. A small water flea under UV light. The object is stained with various fluorescent dyes and in addition it was immobilized in a fluorescent substance, hence the glow around the object.
2. A hydra stained with fluorescent dyes under UV light. Notice that orange color indicates increase of acidity on the surface.
3. A freshwater copepod with fluorescent dyes under UV light.
4. An unidentified plant seed under UV light. The object is stained with various fluorescent dyes each targetting a different structure. Single nuclei are visible in the seedling.
