Topological and Optical Properties of Passeriformes’ Feathers: Biological UV Reflector Antenna

Topological and Optical Properties of Passeriformes’ Feathers: Biological UV Reflector Antenna

This manuscript explores the topological and optical properties of a Passeriformes bird feather. Inside the feather, the layers of keratin and melanin are responsible for light reflection, transmission, and absorption; notably, the miniature composition of melanosome barbules plays a crucial role in...
