Holotomography reveals how squid manipulate optical properties using Bragg reflectors in skin, suggesting unique adaptations.
Using a microscopy technique known as holotomography, scientists at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, have found that the tuneable optical properties of squid skin stem from winding columns of platelets in certain cells.
