From: Dynamic pigmentary and structural coloration within cephalopod chromatophore organs
Predicted optical effects within and around the chromatophore organs. The associated optical phenomena proposed based on our current and previous (see ref. 17) findings are represented as a back scatter, b refraction, c forward scatter, d absorption (of non-yellow wavelengths), e multilayer interference, and f diffuse scattering, where g represents the radial muscle fibers; h represents the sheath cells; i represents the cytoplasm of the sheath cells; j represents individual granules; k represents the a collection of granules within the yellow chromatocyte; and l represents an iridophore, deeper in the dermis. For simplicity, only yellow colored chromatophores are illustrated here
