Light micrograph of scales from the wing of a sunset moth (Urania ripheus) from Madagascar. 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. Microscopic contrast method: incident brightfield. Magnification: x150 when printed at 10 centimetres wide. | |
