All Rights Reserved.): Transmission electron micrograph of a cross-section of a tubule of the nascent light organ of a larval stage of the marine fish Nuchequula nuchalis (Leiognathidae) shortly after colonization by the luminous bacterium Photobacterium leiognathi. The tubule lumen is approximately 8 μm in diameter, and the bacterial cells are approximately 0.9 by 1.8 μm. At the upper right is a tubule that is beginning to form but is not yet colonized.
