|
| If geckos were to rely solely on capillary adhesion for attachment, setal function could be constrained by relative humidity of the habitat. |

|
| And how do geckos keep their feet clean, despite their adhesive traits? |
|
| Experiments using X-ray bombardment eliminated electrostatic attraction as a necessary mechanism for setal adhesion since the geckos were still able to adhere in ionized air. |
|
| To find out how the setae release particles, they first took setal arrays from tokay geckos and affixed them to acetate strips with cyanoacrylate gel. |
|
