Fig. 3. Influence of size on structural colors of micro-crescents.
a Series of reflection optical micrographs of the micro-crescents with the radii from 4.9 to 19.2 μm. Scale bar, 20 μm. b One round for color cycling in the radius range of 8.4–14.9 μm in 12 steps. Illumination and observation direction are both maintained at a polar angle of 20°. Scale bar, 20 mm. c CIE diagram showing the circulatory shift of the coordinates for the size change in (b). Source data for c is provided as a Source Data file.
