Hidden triangular grating structures in biogenic guanine platelet
A platelet made of guanine is used to control light reflection from the bodies of fish, and an assembly of the platelets acts as an efficient photonic crystal. This work reveals that internal structures exist in addition to the smooth platelet surface. A fresh fish guanine platelet resembles a mono-...
