Transforming the architecture of compound eyes.

Nature - 12 Oct 2006

Zelhof Andrew C, Hardy Robert W, Becker Ann, Zuker Charles S

Abstract excerpt

Eyes differ markedly in the animal kingdom, and are an extreme example of the evolution of multiple anatomical solutions to light detection and image formation. A salient feature of all photoreceptor cells is the presence of a specialized compartment (disc outer segments in vertebrates, and microvillar rhabdomeres in insects), whose primary role is to accommodate the millions of light receptor molecules required...
