Abstract
The dioptric or light-directing apparatus of the abdominal photophores of E. pacifica is briefly described. Electron micrographs of the lens, reflector and lamellar ring are presented, with accompanying explanation concerning their probable optical role. Elements of the circulatory system are discussed; the ''rod mass'' of classical cytologists is probably a highly ordered capillary bed.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
