His part 2 on how, and why, we can see white blood cells using blue light is also interesting.



I actually thought I had hundreds of parasites swimming around in my eyes once while using a counterfeit bill testing light (bright blue light).

I've since noticed the same phenomena while suntanning.

Was just reading it could have to do with UV light protection. A circumstance underwater creatures never really have to deal with.

Perhaps an interesting argument for evolution....the underwater "ideally" designed eye climbs out of the ocean, and has to pull a 180 design wise to avoid getting burnt out by UV light. Only trade off is the blind spot.
