Mid-Infrared Transmission and Reflection Microspectroscopy: Analysis of a Novel Biological Imaging System: The Snake Infrared-Imaging Pit Organ
Samples of pit organ epidermis from the pit viper Crotalus adamanteus exhibited two major regions of strong infrared transmission, over approximately 1700-2900 cm^sup -1^ (3.4-6.0 µm) and 700-1200 cm^sup -1^ (8.3-14 µm) wavelength (Figure 4). Overall shapes of spectra were generally similar among pi...

| Zusammenfassung: | Samples of pit organ epidermis from the pit viper Crotalus adamanteus exhibited two major regions of strong infrared transmission, over approximately 1700-2900 cm^sup -1^ (3.4-6.0 µm) and 700-1200 cm^sup -1^ (8.3-14 µm) wavelength (Figure 4). Overall shapes of spectra were generally similar among pit organ, dorsal interscale, and spectacle epidermal samples, but epidermis covering the pit organ had the highest levels of transmission among the samples tested. |
