“Seeing the Invisible”. These are one of the many species of dinoflagellate whose beautiful blue flashes light up oceans on dark nights. Their light is produced in special “organelles” within the 1/2mm single-celled organisms, but only when they are disturbed. Trying to get them in focus in a microscope whilst disturbing them so they will flash took hours of trial and error, but the biggest problem was simply having a camera sensitive enough to record the flash.
