The wide-angle blue reflection property can be explained by exploring the nanostructures in the scales of the morpho butterfly wings. [9] These optically active structures integrate three design principles leading to the wide-angle reflection: Christmas tree-like shaped ridges, alternating lamellae layers (or "branches"), and a small height ...
