Thought some of you might appreciate viewing some of the SEM images of iris wing scales which I took earlier today. Images detailing:
Pilliform scales with inset close up of the central scale, highlighting its hollow structure.
The smooth inferior surface of a scale, laid across the textured, superior surface of pigment scales.
Close up view of a scale base.
Close up comparison of scale inferior and superior surfaces.
Enjoy!
