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 ...

Scientists have long thought that insects with compound eye systems couldn’t see the world as clearly as animals sporting eyeballs with singular lenses. But new research indicates that this might not ...

Researchers Create A Biologically Inspired Artificial Compound Eye Date: April 28, 2006 Source: University of California - Berkeley Summary: Using the eyes of insects such as dragonflies and ...

Factors, such as temperature, humidity, food, light, which are difficult to control, affect the duration of metamorphosis in the blowfly (Calliphora erythrocephala). To avoid errors of timing in ...

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) ...

Researchers studying a well-preserved trilobite fossil believe they have found evidence for the earliest eye yet discovered, reports the BBC. The 530-million-year-old fossil from Estonia shows that ...

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 ...
