Traditionally, luminescence has not been able to provide sufficient spatial resolution at the microscopic level ... the faint light associated with bioluminescence, providing consistent cellular ...

The bioluminescent bay on the Puerto Rican island of Vieques teems with microscopic life-forms called dinoflagellates, which light up whenever water nearby is disturbed. In the distance ...

I write about the world of biology. The discovery of bioluminescent sand on a San Diego beach just a few days ago has reignited public fascination with the stunning natural phenomenon. The ...

This light is created by a chemical reaction, and it is one example of a phenomenon called bioluminescence. Bioluminescent organisms produce and radiate light. There are thousands of bioluminescent ...

20 colors of bioluminescent protein “eNLEX". The method for changing bioluminescence color (top) and the bioluminescent image of 20-color eNLEX taken with a smartphone camera (bottom).

All across the world, microscopic, single-celled critters ... you feel like you've been spirited away into another one. Most bioluminescent beaches are located in the tropics, where warm waters ...

The spectacular bioluminescent display that lit up our ... is the natural aftermath of the "red tide" bloom of microscopic algae known as dinoflagellate, as Laura Rink, associate director at ...

In the world of bioluminescence, it’s common for organisms to get luciferin—the small molecule needed to make light—from their diet. Scientists have hypothesized that bioluminescent fish make their ...

While bioluminescent proteins offer several advantages over fluorescent proteins, the limited availability of color variants has made it difficult to observe multiple targets simultaneously.
