The transparent wing of the dragonfly has been investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), optical microscopy (OPM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and reflectance spectroscopy. Four cells (D1-D4) were studied and classified according to their general morphology. The OPM depicted the vein-joint characterised by the distribution of resilin.

A new strategy for evaluating the efficiency of Dye-sensitized Solar Cell (DSC) employed in this study was to introduce a device stabilizer which also functioned as an external load. This aim was accomplished through computations of efficiency of different DSCs based on n-Mosfet transistor. Transistor Z44 mosfet's impact on the DSC systems was to significantly moderate the effect of two vital components namel; the photoanodes and electrolyte sensitizers.

The nanostructures on the wings of (Moore, 1877) were analysed using scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy, and reflectance measurements. The chemical and morphological analyses revealed the chitin-based intricate nanostructures. The influence of the nanostructures on the wetting characteristics of the wing was investigated using optical imaging.
