The study illustrates how photoreceptor cells inside of insects' compound eye systems do much more work than we ever knew, but moreover, that insects can see quite well despite popular belief. Because ...

If an insect’s compound eyes aren’t spherical, the pseudopupil will look off-center, making it seem as if they are looking slightly away from you. I especially notice this with praying mantis ...

Arthropods—insects, spiders and their kin—have compound eyes, ... But it’s a long way off from the best insect eyes, like those of the green darner dragonfly (28,000 ommatidia) or the ...

The first digital, bug-like compound eye camera sees 180 degrees, near-infinite DoF. An interdisciplinary team of computer scientists and engineers, ...

It’s actually a misconception that insects tend to have more than two eyes; this trait is more common in spiders, crabs, and other arthropods. Compound Eyes The structure of the insect eye is ...

A consortium of European researchers an artificial compound eye that reproduces the architecture of the eyes of insects and other arthropods.

Scientists in the US have made the first artificial eye using 3D polymer structures. The eye, which is made from individual "ommatidia" -- or single lenses -- arranged in a dome shape, is similar in ...

The praying mantis is one of the few insects with compound eyes and the ability to perceive 3D space. Engineers are replicating their visual systems to make machines see better.

The tiny creatures in question were lacewing larvae. Although adult lacewings have complex compound eyes, it was mostly known ...

The compound eye will allow Subaru to observe about 2,400 objects in space, offering an extremely wide field of view and permitting simultaneous spectroscopic observation of the thousands of objects.

Cameras inspired by the compound eyes of insects enable an extremely wide field of view without expensive lenses, potentially offering cheap, simple and lightweight visual sensors for navigation ...
