Fig. 3From: Whip spiders (Amblypygi) become water-repellent by a colloidal secretion that self-assembles into hierarchical microstructuresWater repellence and ultrastructure of granules in different species of whip spiders. 1st row: Tap water droplets, directly ejected on the carapace, form a spherical shape in most species. 2nd row: The fine structure of granules is highly species-specific. 3rd row: The ultrastructure of colloid particles differ between speciesBack to article page
