Leucophores are specialized cells found in certain animals that reflect light, thereby contributing to their coloration. These cells are particularly noteworthy in cephalopods like cuttlefish, octopuses, and some species of fish. The term 'leucophore' is derived from the Greek words 'leukos' meaning "white" and 'phoros' meaning "bearing." In the context of Nanotechnology, leucophores are fascinating because they can manipulate light through nanoscale structures.
