Green Darner (Dragonfly) Eyes
Description:
Close-up view of a Green Darner dragonfly (Anax junius), showing its compound eyes. These consist of thousands of individual photoreceptor units, or ommatidia, located on a convex surface, thus pointed in slightly different directions. The image perceived is a combination of inputs from the numerous ommatidia. Compared with simple eyes, compound eyes possess a very large view angle.
