leucophoreswhose
Leucophores are a type of chromatophore, specialized pigment-containing cells found in the skin and eyes of many non-mammalian vertebrates, including fish, amphibians, reptiles, and cephalopods. Unlike other chromatophores that contain colored pigments, leucophores specifically contain guanine crystals. These crystals are highly reflective, meaning they scatter light that hits them. This scattering of light is what gives leucophores their characteristic white or iridescent appearance.
The primary function of leucophores is to reflect ambient light. This reflection can serve several purposes,
The arrangement and density of leucophores can vary greatly between species and even within different parts
