Glowing bacteria

This tropical scene, reminiscent of a postcard from Key West, is actually a
  petri dish containing an artistic arrangement of genetically engineered
  bacteria. The image showcases eight of the fluorescent proteins created in the
  laboratory of Roger Y. Tsien, a cell biologist at the University of California,
  San Diego. Tsien, along with Osamu Shimomura of the Marine Biology Laboratory
  and Martin Chalfie of Columbia University, share the 2008 Nobel Prize in
  chemistry for their work on green fluorescent protein-a naturally glowing
  molecule from jellyfish that has become a powerful tool for studying molecules
  inside living cells. Courtesy of Nathan Shaner, Monterey Bay Aquarium Research
  Institute.
