Popis:	Lyophilization of the amber-colored, fluorescent oils obtained via thermolysis of amino acid mixtures (Lys, Ala, Gly) leads to a cellular-structured material—with an average cell diameter of 50 μm. The cellular aggregates show a resemblance to epithel tissues. Single cellular entities find their analogs in Fox microspheres as well as in the microfossilsIsuasphaera. Short-wave UV (254 nm) irradiation of the aqueous suspensions destroys the cells, whereas suspension in saline solutions (NaCl) offers protection against dissolution by UV light. The fluorescence spectrum of the microscopic preparations containing the highly fluorescent cellular material (“lumispheres”) was registered.
