The vesicle was prepared in a try to mimic the micro environment of guanine crystals present in some spices of fish and spiders, both of which make use of anhydrous guanine crystal plates to produce structural colors. The image was taken with a scanning electron microscope on Cryo mode. Cryo-SEM sample preparation and imaging allows the samples to remain hydrated, avoiding the drying effects of conventional sample preparation. The sample was prepared using high pressure freezing and freeze fracture techniques.<\/p>\n<p><b>The final image printed by ISM (compressed format):<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 170%; margin-left: 20pt;
