Panel 1 shows a bright field image of the anemone, Aiptasia pallida, the model cnidarian used for the team's studies, which is lacking endosymbiotic algae. Panel 2 shows a bright field image of the Aiptasia populated with its symbiotic algae. Panel 3 shows a fluorescence image of the populated Aptasia; the red fluorescence is from the algae's chlorophyll.
