This is a high resolution image taken under a dissecting microscope. I have several images of different areas of the eye spot under different magnification but this one is probably the best. The iridescent color of the scales is visible.

  • I know this is probably a hard shot to come by, but it seems grainy. Elephantissimo (talk) 03:04, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Some of the grain is the actual texture of the scales, although I am not sure if all of it is. Peter Z.Talk 16:16, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
