Contributions of lunate cells and wax crystals to the surface anisotropy of Nepenthes slippery zone

Nepenthes slippery zone presents surface anisotropy depending on its specialized structures. Herein, via macro–micro–nano scaled experiments, we analysed the contributions of lunate cells and wax crystals to this anisotropy. Macroscopic climbing of insects showed large displacements (triple body len...
