The Physiology of Chromatophores
1959Publisher Summary This chapter provides an overview of the chromatophores of vertebrates and invertebrates. The chapter also discusses the crustaceans, the class most intensively investigated in past several years. Physiological color changes involve alterations on appropriate stimulation in the degree of dispersion of pigment granules in ...

Cephalopods are a class of mollusks that include cuttlefish, octopus, and squid1 that are capable of adaptive display capabilities. The cephalopods unique adaptable appearance is enabled by a sequence of thin layers in their soft and stretchable skin2 that allows them to quickly change color (Figure 1a), pattern, iridescence and texture (with the ...

The physiology of flatfish chromatophores
Microscopy Research and Technique, 2002AbstractMost flatfish, of the order Pleuronectiformes, possess a white lower side, and a brown or grey upper side. This upper side can display integumentary patterning with dark areas and colored or white spots. Chromatophores in flatfish are dermal and epidermal melanophores, as well as dermal xanthophores, erythrophores, iridophores, and leucophores,

Publisher Summary Bacterial chromatophores exhibit certain biochemical properties similar to those of chloroplasts and are comparable to those of plant or animal mitochondria. For instance, chromatophores carry out cyclic photophosphorylation similar to that of chloroplasts; on the other hand, chromatophores, like mitochondria, catalyze a dark ...

Microscopy of Algal Chromatophores
Phycologia, 1966Abstract In order to make visible or to photograph structural details of algal chromatophores, an “absorption image” should be produced in the microscope by using a proper light filter. For a number of reasons, this can be done, not by using a red filter whose color is complementary to the green component of the plastid pigments, but by applying a blue

Cytophysiology of Fish Chromatophores
1993Publisher Summary This chapter discusses cytophysiology of fish chromatophores, with emphasis on the chromatophores of class Osteichthyes. The chromatophores are responsible not only for the generation of color but also for changes in coloration of the surface coat.

Publisher Summary Fishes change hues in response to the background coloration that has long been known. They also display color responses during excitement and courtship. These changes are mediated through the activities of integumentary pigment-containing cells called “chromatophores.” This chapter selects and organizes some of the important ...
