Crystals

A photograph of bioluminescent protein crystals glowing with a cool, electric blue light. The crystals are small, translucent cubes piled together in the center of a dark circular container, likely a petri dish. The light reflects off the smooth surface beneath them, and a single, isolated cube sits apart from the main cluster in the lower-left foreground. The entire scene is bathed in a deep blue monochromatic hue.
