Some kinds of a fruiting body of myxomycetes have beautiful colors originated from structural color. In this study, the structural color of a fruiting body of Lamproderma splendens was investigated by using microspectrometry.
The reflectance spectra at the several area of ø20μm on a fruiting body surface were measured using a spectroscopic microscope. The optical constants and the thicknesses of the surface film of a fruiting body were determined by simultaneous spectra fitting analysis of all measured reflectance spectra.
