Dynamic pigmentary and structural coloration within cephalopod chromatophore organs

Dynamic pigmentary and structural coloration within cephalopod chromatophore organs

Chromatophores in cephalopod skin are known for fast changes in coloration due to light-scattering pigment granules. Here, authors demonstrate structural coloration facilitated by reflectin in sheath cells and offer insights into the interplay between structural and pigmentary coloration elements.
