Figures
The images for Figures 3 and 5 are incorrectly switched. The images for Figures 4 and 6 are also incorrectly switched. The figure legends appear in the correct order. Please find the corrected figures and their legends below.
Left: species 10 A. laricis magnification 8 000X, Right: species 12 X. maritima 15 000X magnification. The images show sections of the cuticle where a prism shaped part has been removed by FIB milling, while the structuring around it was protected by a layer of platinum, to reveal cross sections of the granules. A single granule is highlighted by a white circle in each image. In species 10 there is no evidence of overhang, in species 12 overhang is present.
The schematic shows how the structural parameters , , , , and were measured from SEM images.
Measured advancing () and receding () contact angles with one standard deviation error bars as compared to the values predicted by the Wenzel (), Cassie-Baxter () and the Choi () equations. The minimum limit for contact angles considered superhydrophobic is denoted by a dotted line at 150°. Rows marked with an asterisk (*) denote predicted values based on secondary granules.
The maximum limit for contact angle hysteresis considered superhydrophobic is denoted by a dotted line at 10°. Rows marked with an asterisk (*) denote predicted values based on secondary granules.
