Figure 7
(a) SAXS pattern from the membranes/mammillary layer. The scatter distribution is perpendicular to the tangent of the eggshell surface. (b) SAXS pattern at point 29 on the vertical scan from the vertical crystal layer/cuticle part of the eggshell. The scattering distribution is 36° to the tangent of the eggshell surface. Comparison of both patterns indicates that at the inner and outer parts of the shell there is evidence of preferred orientation.
