fluorescence 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.

Epifluorescence photomicrograph of bacteria and viruses like the one above, but with a large pennate diatom in the middle of the field.

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

We love the R/V Yellowfin, operated by the Southern California Marine Institute!

Yubin Raut was our designated SPOT veteran – he had been on dozens of cruises during his PhD in Doug Capone’s lab, long before joining the Fuhrman lab.
