This series of fish scales shows the many variations in morphology between fish species.

The Ozark Bass is a native North American fish that has large ctenoid scales, which have very tiny spines on the edge pointed towards the tail. These small spines are typical of many species of fishes.

For this dataset, a 4th Order Polynomial reference geometry and a 2.5 mm long wavelength filter highlight the serrations along the edges of the scales.

Measured via GelSight Mobile surface analysis system
