Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 51, No. 2, pg. 63:
Pitz is developing a way to apply fluorescent probes to the several different species of Gambierdiscus, based on their genetic code, using a technique called fluorescence in situ hybridization, or FISH. FISH probes have an attached fluorophore that glows under certain wavelengths of light. Here the cells are seen using a species-specific probe designed by Pitz.
