This is a photomultiplier tube. We're looking through the semi-transparent photocathode into the tube which was back-lit by flash coming in through the side. PM tubes are used to detect very low levels of light. Under the right conditions, individual photons can be counted. The tube in this shot is similar to the example shown here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photomultiplier Jim H.

Neat shot Jim! Are we looking into the guts of a camera - or what? - Kelly
