The use of small electrochromic points allows the construction of monochromic or multichromic flat screens. Using different conducting polymers with complementary colors on ITO-coated flexible plastics (now available commercially), camouflage cloths can be envisaged which, once connected to a video camera and a system of image treatment, would be able to mimic any surrounding, as chameleons or cuttlefish do.

The introduction and diversification of genetically encoded fluorescent proteins (FPs) [1] and the expansion of available biological fluorophores have propelled biomedical fluorescent imaging forward into new era of development [2], Particular excitement surrounds the advances in microscopy, for example, inexpensive time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) cards for desktop computers that do away with the need for expensive and complex racks of equipment and compact infrared femtosecond pulse length semiconductor lasers, like the Mai Tai, mode locked titanium sapphire laser from Spectra physics, or the similar Chameleon manufactured by Coherent, Inc., that enable multiphoton excitation. 

Main Chemical Transformations of BENA BENAs can be characterized as compounds having chameleonic activity. In other words, these compounds depending on the nature of partner can act either as (3-C nucleophiles (the attack by an electrophilic agent) or as electrophiles (the attack by a nucleophilic agent) (Scheme 3.231). 

The cuttlefish is sometimes referred to as the chameleon of the sea because it can change its skin color and pattern instantaneously. Masters of camouflage, they can blend into any environment for protection, but they are also capable of the most imaginative displays of iridescent, bril-... 

The particular substitution pattern of lithium carbenoids, the fact that both an electropositive metal and an electronegative substituent X are bound to the same carbon atom, causes the ambiphilic character of this species. The chameleon-like reactivity becomes evident from the resonance formulas of the carbenoid lb (equation 1) Whereas the carbanionic character is expressed by the resonance formula la, the electrophilic character is represented by Ic. In an analogous way, the reactivity of vinylidene carbenoids 2b is expressed by the mesomeric structures 2a and 2c. 

Melanin also provides a dark background in our eye s iris, is involved in animal color changes (such as the octopus and chameleon), is formed when fruit is bruised, and is partially responsible for the coloration of tea.

The Berlin glass and porcelain technologist J. H. Pott believed that pyrolusite consisted of phlogiston and an earth somewhat like that in alum (58). In 1740 he prepared chameleon mineral (potassium permanganate ) and other compounds from it and showed that iron is not a constituent of pure pyrolusite (13).
