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

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Biomimetic imaging systems, particularly those inspired by the compound eyes of insects, have gained significant attention in recent years. These systems aim to replicate the unique optical ...

All insects have six legs that have joints, compound eyes, and one pair of antennae. Creatures with different numbers of legs (such as spiders or centipedes) might look similar to insects, but are ...

Their enhanced visual field and ability to detect movement help insects avoid predators and catch their prey. These sections come from an area on the top of the dragonfly’s eye called the functional ...

Insects exhibit impressive agility and responsiveness even when faced with low-light conditions. The secret lies in their compound eyes, which are capable of detecting motion with incredible speed ...

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 ...

Researchers have finished equipping the Subaru Telescope with a new special “compound eye,” culminating several years of effort. This new eye is an instrument featuring approximately 2,400 prisms ...
