This picture shows a sporangium on some fern leaf. It was excited by blue light. Picture is taken with a 10x objective.

Impressive! The yellow certainly stands out.

It shows fern spores in their sporangium under the leaf.

Re: Fern sporangium fluorescence
Ah-ha! I got videos of these things firing pollen and wondered what they were! I may have called them "fern springy things".

Re: Fern sporangium fluorescence
To give an idea how fluorescence microscopy differs from bright field, I made another picture. This time its bright field using a 16x objective. Much less contrast but more detail. Fluorescence promotes very specific things while depressing others.
