Research Abstract

I have developed a new method to quantify coloration of organisms with digital imaging techniques. Conventional colorimetry using digital cameras usually subdivided the visible spectrum into only three bands (RGB), whereas the new method can make 401-band images in the maximum resolution, which record wavelength information from the ultraviolet to the visible region. This new method is expected to lead to revolutionary advances of studies of evolution of coloration.
