Abstract
The feathers of the seagull Larus argentatus are lightweight but can withstand high alternating stresses and exhibit excellent stiffness and strength. The shaft is an important part of the feather, with the functions of body protection and supporting flight. In this study, the microstructure properties of L. argentatus feather rachis were analysed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). These analysis methods enabled the configuration, structure...
