Fine structure of wing scales of butterflies, Euploea mulciber and Troides aeacus
Wing scales of male Euploea mulciber (E. mulciber) and Troides aeacus (T. aeacus) butterflies were investigated from interest in photonic crystal by scanning electron microscopy and optical reflectance measurement. On the basis of the structural observation, the colouration in different areas in the...
