      We have several customers who use our lasers as the light source to make movies of Phytoplankton eating things. I believe that that they eat smaller, single cell organisms and algae, but I’d need to use Google to be sure.

      Other plankton, and each other. And algae, I saw a David Attenborough programme on that once.

      So I agree with Tim
