HFIP treatment on eggmass surface within 20 s. A, B HFIP not treated eggs shows large portion of multilayer (arrow) surrounding egg. Under the multilayers, single layer (arrowhead) is directly attached to the chorionic surface. C Eggs treated with HFIP lost most of the multilayer. D The microspheres are arranged with hexagonal regular arrangement. Each scale bar indicates 50 µm (A), 20 µm (B, C) and 5 µm (D), respectively
