Bioluminescence is widely used for in vivo imaging of nude mice. By conjugating luciferase protein to quantum dots, bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) turns these useful fluorophores ...

The Olympus LV200 Luminoview has been optimized for collecting the faint light associated with bioluminescence, providing consistent cellular-level clarity. The path from the object to the camera ...

New study shines a light on the mechanics of bioluminescence in the rare fish Vinciguerria mabahiss Date: March 26, 2025 Source: Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County Summary: Evolving ...

Lanternfishes have light-producing organs on their bodies that are called photophores. This light is created by a chemical reaction, and it is one example of a phenomenon called bioluminescence.

Bioluminescence in the rare Red Sea fish Vinciguerria mabahiss is used for counterillumination, a camouflage technique that makes the fish less visible to predators by mimicking the light from above.

“This is the most comprehensive scientific publication on the distribution of fish bioluminescence ever written, and the authors show that bioluminescence evolved way more times independently than ...

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 ...
