Epifluorescence
micrograph of prokaryotes and viruses stained with SYBR Green I. The smallest
dots are viruses and larger ones are bacteria or archaea. The bacteria are
approximately 0.5 micrometers in diameter. The protocol to prepare these
microscope slides can be found HERE. |

Transmission electron micrograph of viruses (dark items) and other similar-sized
material concentrated from seawater. The viruses are approximately 50 nanometers
in diameter. |

Epifluorescence
photomicrograph of bacteria and viruses like the one above, but with a large
pennate diatom in the middle of the field. |
| Launching the water sampler/sensor
cluster known as a "CTD-rosette," where CTD stands for conductivity
temperature depth sensor. This launch is much closer to Catalina Island
than our usual sample site. |
