Figure 9

Pattern of sclerite arrangement and crystal orientation organization within the scleritome of D. sarsii. We show two EBSD scans (A, C); crystal orientation variation is given with color-coded EBSD maps and corresponding pole figures (A–D). We observe for the sclerites that form the scleritome of D. sarsii, c-axes clusters. See pole figures in (A–D). These clusters can be assigned to sets of alternating layers of sclerites; see EBSD maps and pole figures in (B, D). Accordingly, sclerite arrangement in the scleritome of D. sarsii is structured.
