Illustration explaining scattering effect

Caption

An illustration depicting the contrasting conditions described in the research. On the left, diffuse incident light results in light being reflected in all directions. On the right, in a darkened room, focused incident light is reflected away in a specific direction and iridescent, scattered light can be observed as colours from the observation point of the experimentalist.
