four species of fiddler crabs, of genus Uca, as viewed in the
microspectrophotometer. In each panel, the elongated rectangular or
oval-shaped structures are rhabdoms, sectioned obliquely and viewed laterally,
surrounded by droplets or granules of screening pigments. Absorption spectra
of these screening pigments are plotted in
