Kingfisher feathers – colouration by pigments, spongy nanostructures and thin films

Free
Doekele G. Stavenga, Jan Tinbergen, Hein L. Leertouwer, Bodo D. Wilts

... showed that the orange barbs contain small pigment granules. The cyan and blue barbs contain spongy nanostructures with slightly different dimensions, causing different reflectance spectra. Imaging scatterometry showed that the pigmented barbs create a diffuse orange scattering and the spongy barb...
