abstract = {The brilliant structural body colours of many animals are
created by three-dimensional biological photonic crystals
that act as wavelength-specific reflectors. Here, we report
a study on the vividly coloured scales of the diamond
weevil, Entimus imperialis. Electron microscopy identified
the chitin and air assemblies inside the scales as domains
of a single-network diamond (Fd3m) photonic crystal. We
visualized the topology of the first Brillouin zone (FBZ) by
imaging scatterometry, and we reconstructed the complete
photonic band structure diagram (PBSD) of the chitinous
photonic crystal from reflectance spectra. Comparison with
calculated PBSDs indeed showed a perfect overlap. The unique
method of non-invasive hemispherical imaging of the FBZ
provides key insights for the investigation of photonic
crystals in the visible wavelength range. The characterized
extremely large biophotonic nanostructures of E. imperialis
are structurally optimized for high reflectance and may thus
be well suited for use as a template for producing novel
photonic devices, e.g. through biomimicry or direct
infiltration from dielectric material.},
