Description
Butterfly wing scales. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of scales from the wing of an emerald swallowtail butterfly (Papilio palinurus). Layers of wing scales are transparent but tiny ridges on the scales break up and reflect light to give the scales their shimmering iridescent appearance.
