Biramous is a term used for branched arthropod appendages. Theseare most commonly branched into a gill and leg with a common root at a body segment. Each leg/gill structure will be paired with a second biramous structure on the other side of the body.

| birefringence |
Birefringence, or double refraction, is the division of a ray of light into two rays (the ordinary ray and the extraordinary ray) when it passes through certain types of material, such as calcite crystals, depending on the polarization of the light. This is explained by assigning two different refractive indices to the material for different polarizations. ...
