Galiteuthis , a midwater squid, has photophores on the ventral surfaces of its eyes. These photophores emit bioluminescence to counter-illuminate the shadows cast by the eyes in downwelling sunlight, thereby hiding the eyes from upward-looking predators. The photophores consist of laminated fibre-like cells with semi-coaxial protein-dense layers around axial cytoplasm. These cells have been suggested to function as light guides: bioluminescence is an isotropic process used to hide in an anisotropic light environment, so any emission must be reshaped to be effective. We found a wide variation in cross-sectional geometries of photophore cells; some were more efficient at light guiding than others. We used a set of optical models to place these photophores in the context of the radiance where Galiteuthis lives and discovered a possible adaptive reason for this variation. In Galiteuthis 's horizontal and vertical range, ocean radiance is also quite variable. For complete camouflage, photophores must reproduce this variation in radiance using an isotropic source. Our models show that variation in the geometry of the photophore light guides reproduces the predicted variation in ocean radiance experienced by this species. By selectively activating geometrically distinct populations of photophore cells, the animal may reproduce the angular distribution of light at all positions in its habitat.

Information on the low levels in Si29 has been obtained by studying the gamma radiation associated with the Si29(p, p′γ)Si29 inelastic-scattering reaction in the proton-energy range from 2.5 to 3.0 Mev. and with the Al29(β−)Si29 negatron decay. Angular-distribution measurements have shown that the 2.03 Mev. level in Si29 has spin 5/2, and are consistent with a 3/2 assignment to the 1.28 Mev. level. The E2/M1E2 branching ratio for the de-excitation of the 2.03 Mev. state has been measured to be approximately 100. Log ft values of < 5.2, > 6.5, and 5.2 have been determined for the branches of the Al29 decay to the 2.43, 2.03, and 1.28 Mev. states in Si29.
