Is that hexagonal surface pattern blood vessels?

They are actually the membrane boundaries of keratinocytes. These large hexagonal cells are very distinct! -KT

Is the coloration actually like that, or is it enhanced by camera lighting?

It’s a pseudo-colored images based on the expression of different fluorophores. Blue is DAPI (a cell nuclei stain) while I’m not sure about the others. Definitely not what an eye looks like normal brightfield imaging!

Thank you! I assumed it was something like this, but hey - there are beautifully colored things that occur naturally that I am always amazed by!
What an incredible world we are lucky enough to live in.

Thx. Thought about that too. Makes sense. Lovely pattern, mathematically defined precision.

That's only the third time in my life, that I've seen one of those. Is that the right or left eye?

Based on orientation, I think the anterior of the fish is facing up and we’ve got a ventral view. 75% sure it’s the left eye! -KT
