The arthropods ancestrally possessed compound eyes, but the type and origin of this eye varies between groups, and some taxa have secondarily developed simple eyes. The organ's development through the lineage can be estimated by comparing groups that branched early, such as the velvet worm and horseshoe crab to the advanced eye condition found ...
Compound eye of Antarctic krill as imaged by an electron microscope. A compound eye is a visual organ found in arthropods such as insects and crustaceans.It may consist of thousands of ommatidia, [1] which are tiny independent photoreception units that consist of a cornea, lens, and photoreceptor cells which distinguish brightness and color.
Generally, a difference in power of one diopter (1D) is the threshold for diagnosis of the condition. [2] [3] Patients may have up to 3 diopters of anisometropia before the condition becomes clinically significant due to headache, eye strain, double vision or photophobia. [4]

fluid-filled space between the iris and the endothelium: AC 4/4: Grade 4 anterior chamber angle: open angle between cornea and iris AC 3/4: Grade 3 anterior chamber angle: AC 2/4: Grade 2 anterior chamber angle: AC 1/4: Grade 1 anterior chamber angle: AC 0/4: Grade 0 anterior chamber angle: closed angle between cornea and iris AC/A
Although composed of over 16,000 cells, [6] the Drosophila compound eye is a simple repetitive pattern of 700 to 750 ommatidia, [7] initiated in the larval eye imaginal disc. Each ommatidium consists of 14 neighboring cells: 8 photoreceptor neurons in the core, 4 non-neuronal cone cells and 2 primary pigment cells. [ 6 ]
Economists are keeping a close eye on inflation and labor reports amid speculation as to timing of future cuts to the Fed rate, with data indicating sticky inflation from a peak of 9.1% in June ...
The space between the two eyes can sometimes be reduced to a narrow strip running from the front of the occipital region, or disappear altogether because of the direct contact between the eyes or their margins. The morphology of the compound eye is characterized by a significant number of ommatidia, of the order of thousands in muscoids. The ...
