The eye of a dragonfly is made of tens of thousands of individual segments Photo: Rudi Gunawan The first working compound-eye-style camera can’t quite see like a dragonfly. Dragonfly eyes are made of ...

The field of biomimetic imaging systems and artificial compound eyes represents a fusion of biological inspiration and advanced engineering to develop compact, high-performance visual devices. These ...

Biologists at UCSD have discovered that the presence of a key protein in the compound eyes of the fruit fly allows the formation of distinct light gathering units in each of its 800 unit eyes, an ...

Copying the human lens takes robotic technology a long-way; however, the compound eyes of insects provides a different level of visualization when it comes to peripheral vision. Other advantages that ...

Using the eyes of insects such as dragonflies and houseflies as models, a team of bioengineers at University of California, Berkeley, has created a series of artificial compound eyes. These eyes can ...

An animal that lived 429 million years ago had compound eyes almost identical to those of modern insects like bees and dragonflies. The finding implies that the compound eye evolved very early in the ...

Biologists at the University of California, San Diego have discovered that the presence of a key protein in the compound eyes of the fruit fly (which glow at center due to a fluorescent protein) ...
