Fig. 4. Measurement of the thickness of a seta from the beetle Gastrophysa
viridula not in contact with the substrate. (A) TXM image of the spatula
region of a seta which is not in contact with the surface. (B,C) Line scans
taken at positions 1–8, as marked in A. To increase the signal to noise
ratio, the scans have been averaged between the two lines of each
position.
