MothScale

Analyze butterfly and moth wing scale nanostructure from electron micrographs

Scientific AIFree

MothScale quantifies wing scale ultrastructure dimensions from SEM images including ridge spacing, cross-rib periodicity, and lamella thickness for structural color modeling. The tool simulates thin-film interference and photonic crystal reflectance spectra from measured nanostructure geometry using transfer matrix methods. Species-diagnostic scale architecture parameters enable identification from individual scale fragments recovered in forensic or dietary studies.
