红海环菊珊瑚Red Sea, Knob Coral

环菊珊瑚,红海,1997


“一株环菊珊瑚在紫外线的照射下，随着色彩而颤动好像被从里面照亮着。这种珊瑚吸收不可见的紫外光，然后发出纷乱的橘色可见光。这叫做“荧光”——种近乎纯魔术的物理学和生物学现象。”

——摘自1997年《国家地理杂志》8月号《海底新发现》

Red Sea, Knob Coral, 1997
"Illuminated by ultraviolet light, a knob coral pulsates with color as if lit from within. The coral absorbs the invisible ultraviolet light, then emits wild orange visible light. This is called fluorescence, a phenomenon of physics and biology that borders on pure magic."

—From "A New Light in the Sea," August 1997, National Geographic magazine
