This series of fish scales shows the many variations in morphology between fish species.
The Black Nox Angelfish is a tropical coral reef fish that has large scales with very long spines that point posteriorly, giving the surface a ridged appearance. This fish even has these scales on parts of their fins, such as the tail seen in this data.
For this dataset, a 2.5 mm long wavelength filter attenuates the wavy shape of the specimen, highlighting the smaller peaks along the scales.
Measured via GelSight Mobile surface analysis system
