Osamu Shimomura and his colleagues used this dip net to capture large numbers of the jellyfish Aequorea aequorea to extract a substance that makes their edges luminous. The net was made in 1968 and was designed to be light and easy to drag through water. The jellyfish had to be captured in the right direction to avoid damaging their edges. The handle was painted black and orange, the colours of Princeton University.
Osamu Shimomura donated the net to the Nobel Prize Museum in 2009. - Location
