Discover how scientists have taken inspiration from praying mantises to create artificial compound eyes that revolutionize 3D ...

The Subaru Telescope in Hawai‘i is adding a new instrument to its arsenal, one that will observe the cosmos through a compound eye. The compound eye will allow Subaru to observe about 2,400 ...

Domestic researchers developed a camera system that mimics the structure of insect compound eyes. This technology can capture fast-moving objects even in nearly dark environments. It is expected ...

As well as having massive eyeballs that join at the top of the head, these horsefly males have two different sized ommatidia (the photoreceptor units that form insects' compound eyes). The larger ...

The compound eyes of insects can detect fast-moving objects in parallel and, in low-light conditions, enhance sensitivity by integrating signals over time to determine motion. Inspired by these ...

Furthermore, various animal groups have evolved very different types of eyes. The insects have evolved a compound eye, which consists of many individual eyes with individual lenses. The squid ...

The first complete 3D reconstruction of the compound eye of a minute wasp species sheds light on the nuts and bolts of size reduction.

A challenge in building digital cameras with the hemispherical, compound apposition layouts of arthropod eyes is that essential design requirements cannot be met with existing planar sensor ...

A novel bio-inspired camera capable of ultra-high-speed imaging with high sensitivity was developed by mimicking the visual structure of insect eyes. The compound eyes of insects can detect fast ...
