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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

WASHINGTON -- If you've ever tried to swat a fly, you know that insects react to movement extremely quickly. A newly created biologically inspired compound eye is helping scientists understand how ...

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) ...
