1885 Athenæum 12 Dec. 773/3 Mr. J. Mayall, jun., exhibited the Helot-Trouvé electric photophore, which had been recommended as an excellent illuminant for microscopical purposes.

1893 New Sydenham Soc. Lexicon Photophore, the name for an electric light for use in laryngoscopy, adapted to a forehead-band, so as to be reflected by the laryngoscopic mirror into the mouth and throat under examination.

1991 Canad. House & Home Dec. 81/1 Just as natural light is crucial to whatever success this house has enjoyed, light from both simple candlesticks and from glass-globed photophores adds to the transformation.

2. Zoology. A bioluminescent organ present in various animals, esp. marine fishes and cephalopod molluscs.

1934 W. Beebe in Bull. N.Y. Zool. Soc. 37 193/1 I suddenly saw the amazing beauty of the photophores [of the constellation fish, Bathysidus pentagrammus]. There were five rows of these.

1963 P. H. Greenwood Norman's Hist. Fishes (ed. 2) x. 168 There are typically two rows of organs, or photophores, on either side of the fish.

2001 BBC Wildlife Sept. 26/1 Light-producing photophores vary greatly in complexity from simple cups of light-producing cells to structures with mirrors, lenses and light-guides.
