Information about Lamella
Lamella is a term for a platelike structure, appearing in multiples, that occurs in various situations, such as biology or materials sciences. It implies a thin layer (Latin), the same derivation as for `laminate'. It can mean:
- Lamella (zoology), a structure in an animal
- Lamella (mycology), a structure beneath the cap of a mushroom
- Lamella (materials), a structure within geological, biological, or synthetic materials
- Lamella (cell biology), a sub-cellular structure
- Lamella clarifier, a water treatment process
- Lamellar armour, a medieval type of armour similar to scale armour.
A lamella is a thin plate-like structure, often one amongst many lamellae very close to one another, with open space between. Aside from respiratory organs, they appear in other biological roles including filter feeding, the traction surfaces of geckos, and chloroplast

A gill, or lamella, is one of the papery ribs under the cap of a mushroom, most often but not always an agaric. As fungi are studied in more detail, several other types of fungi exhibit gills while not members of the Agaricales.

A lamella is a gill-shaped structure: fine sheets of material held adjacent one another, with fluid in-between-(or simply 'welded'-plates). They appear in biological and engineering contexts, such as filters and heat exchangers.

A lamella, in cell biology, is an extension of a thylakoid within a chloroplast, linking a thylakoid within one granum to one in another. They are the sites of photosystem I. Simply put, lamellae may be considered as a pair of membranes containing chlorophyll.

A lamella clarifier is a water treatment process that features a core of inclined metal plates, which cause flocculated material to precipitate from water that flows across the plates, thus "clarifying" the water. www.tubesettler.com

Lamellar armour is a kind of personal armour consisting of small plates (lames) which are laced together in parallel rows. Lamellar armour evolved from scale armour, from which it differs by not needing a backing for the scales.

Scale armour (armor), Lorica squamata. Jazerant, Jazeraint or Leaf Mail (sometimes erroneously called scale mail) consists of many small scales attached to a backing material of either leather or cloth.
