Chemical or metal toxicity. May also be associated with actinomycin production in the bowel, especially if the crystals have an orange-red colour (see Orange-red-brown above). Bright red crystals are often small, appearing as bright red “lights” within protoplasts or individually in the plasma. They are easily observed through the eyepieces in darkfield (in brightfield they only present as black points).
