We fixed this poor guy just before he finished lunch! In this image we can see the algae, Rhodomonas lens, autofluorescing in the esophagus of this Patiria miniata brachiolaria, (red) and also the fine rings of smooth muscle that contract to push food into the gut (the green is filamentous actin, stained with phalloidin). Spectacular! Now one of you guys just needs to image it on the confocal...
