Description
Scanning electron micrograph of morpho butterfly scales. Morpho butterflies have characteristic iridescent scales. The iridescence is caused by structural coloration of the microscope wing scales that reflect incident light, causing interference effects. Butterflies are a subject in bionics research where an attempt is being made to technically reproduce the structures that lead to the strong interferences.Magnification is 400x at 15x12cm image size.
