Hover fly eye, SEM
Hover fly eye. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the compound eye of a hover fly (family Syrphidae). The eye is composed of numerous facets (ommatidia), each of which contain a lens. Beneath each lens are retinal cells that send nerve signals to the optic nerve. Each ommatidium gives a tiny image of part of the hover flys field of vision, resulting in a detailed mosaic image. Magnification: x150 at 6x7cm size
