3.1 SEM microscopy
The outer surface microstructure of top of the head and midbody dorsal scales of P. persicus has a lattice-like structure, with a spongy-like structure within each of the polygon lattices (Figure 1A-C). The high magnification of the caudal scales revealed a flattened and spongy-like structure that is divided into disordered unspecified bugs (Figure 1D).
