From: Linking host morphology and symbiont performance in octocorals
Symbiont distribution in gorgonian corals. Histological sections from (A–C) Gorgonia ventalina, (D–F) Antillogorgia americana, (G–I) Pterogorgia anceps and (J–K) Plexaurella nutans. (A, D, G and J) are sections stained with hematoxylin-eosin dyes and photographed at 10X amplification. (B,E,H and K) are the same sections but observed using an eGFP fluorescence filter (Ex488 – Em509 nm), the fluorescence labeling corresponds to Eosin. Dotted boxes in A,D,G and J represent the amplified regions shown in B,E,H and K, respectively. For even more zooming, dotted boxes in B,E,H, and K represent the amplified regions observed in C,F,I and L, respectively. Yellow arrows label symbionts. Scale bars are 100 µm (A,D,G,J), 25 µm (B,E,H,K) or 5 µm (C,F,I,L).
