Fluorescently labeled C. elegans movie

Description: This movie shows C.elegans moving under white light and then a green filter is inserted and the white light reduced and an ultraviolet light turned on to see the fluorescence of these genetically modified C.elegans with labeled nuclei of the nervous system.
