From: Microbiome characterization of defensive tissues in the model anemone Exaiptasia diaphana
Acontia structure in E. diaphana (genotype AIMS1). a: Aboral view of an anemone observed in light microscopy ejecting several acontia (white arrows). Scale bar: 200 mm. b-c: Visualization of acontia (grey, transmitted light) in fluorescence microscopy highlighting the presence of Symbiodiniaceae (blue, white arrow in c). Also note the abundant presence of nematocysts, containing spring structures that are expelled towards predators (white arrowhead in c). Scale bars: 100 μm in B; 20 μm in C. Blue and grey are not the real colors
