| contents | Iridophore networks in the skin of neon tetra fish are investigated for use as biologically sourced, tunable, Bragg reflector arrays. This paper reports on a method for immediate and fast post-processing of tissue to modify the structural color of iridophores found in the lateral color stripe. Conditions for fixation as well as the environment post-fixation to improve longevity of the structural color are also presented. Recent results from attempts to further increase the lifetime of post-mortem iridophore color through infiltration and embedding in low-acid glycol methacrylate are also discussed. |
