The "zinc spark" is a natural event: eggs release zinc ions at fertilization. Fluorescent probes bind to the ions and induce light emission, making the process visible under a microscope. The fluorescence is artificially induced, but the zinc release is natural.

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1836778669404291517

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
