Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
We explore the electromagnetic response of the pellicle of selected species of euglenoids. These microorganisms are bounded by a typical surface pellicle formed by S-shaped overlapping bands that resemble a corrugated film. We investigate the role played by this structure in the protection of the cell against UV radiation. By considering the pellicle as a periodically corrugated film of finite thickness, we applied the C-method to compute the reflectance spectra. The far-field results revealed reflectance peaks with a Q-factor larger than 10 in the UV region for all the illumination conditions investigated. The resonant behavior responsible for this enhancement has also been illustrated by near-field computations performed by a photonic simulation method. These results confirm that the corrugated pellicle of euglenoids shields the cell from harmful UV radiation and open up new possibilities for the design of highly UV-reflective surfaces.
