Description
Light micrograph of the wing of a butterfly, Vanessa sp., showing the arrangement of the scales. The structure of the wing is like a roof, with colored scales corresponding to the overlapping tiles. The scales are attached to a membrane (the wing itself) by a short stalk, which fits into a tubular socket. The color of the butterfly's wing is determined not only by pigmentation, but also by diffraction of light and the surface structure of the scale. Magnification unknown.
