A Multispectral Backscattered Light Recorder of Insects’ Wingbeats

摘要: Most reported optical recorders of the wingbeat insects are based on so-called extinction light, which is variation light in receiver due to cast shadow insect’s wings and main body. In this type recording devices, emitter uses placed opposite receiver, usually a single (or multiple) photodiode. work, we present different kind sensor its associated recorder that aims extract deeper representational signal event color characterization body insect, namely: a) record backscattered richer harmonics than b) use three spectral bands, i.e., multispectral approach grasp melanization microstructural features wing insects, c) average at receiver’s level from many LEDs illuminate wingbeating insect multiple orientations thus offer smoother more complete one snapshot. We all necessary details reproduce device analyze interest like bee Apis mellifera, wasp Polistes gallicus, some whose characteristics pending current literature, Drosophila suzukii Zaprionus, another member drosophilidae family.
