Mantis Shrimp
The vibrant colors in this image are the death glow of a potato fighting a moldy invader. The blue fluorescence outlines living cell walls rich in structural phenolics, while the magenta cells are additionally loaded with anthocyanin pigments—natural antioxidants and red fluorophores that intensify as the tissue acidifies under stress.
