Uric Acid Spherulites in the Reflector Layer of Firefly Light Organ
BACKGROUND: In firefly light organs, reflector layer is a specialized tissue which is believed to play a key role for increasing the bioluminescence intensity through reflection. However, the nature of this unique tissue remains elusive. In this report, we investigated the role, fine structure and n...
