Using a sub-woofer to send vibrations to ''Pyrocystis Fusiformis'' is also a good way to make them glow... if you do it properly. This technique needs a little bit more preparation. I though of using it at some point, but since the medium needs to be directly on the speaker, this technique could not work for my installation. I tried to put the flask on the woofer, but the glass cuts the vibration too much. Also, this technique has downsides which are the contamination of the organism as they are put straight on a sub-woofer, but also the manipulation of it as they will need to be put back and forth from the speaker to the flask for maintenance and care purposes. | |||
[http://www.andreasgreiner.com Andreas Greiner] uses this technique in is work [http://www.andreasgreiner.com/works/molecular-ordering-of-computational-plants/?/=chronological ''The Molecular Ordering of Computational_plants''] (photos below). If you want to use this technique, make sure to make the speaker water-proof. You can find tutorials, like [https://www.instructables.com/id/Visualizing-Sound-With-Fluids/ this one], on Internet that explain how to do it properly. | |||

''Note'': As our bared eyes can see the glowing perfectly, taking a photo of it more complicated as it needs a long exposure. To make a video of it is even more difficult. | ''Note'': As our bared eyes can see the glowing perfectly, taking a photo of it more complicated as it needs a long exposure.
