Fly compound eye, SEM
Fly compound eye. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of numerous lenses making up the surface of a compound eye from a hover fly (family Syrphidae). These lenses are called ommatidia. A compound eye is not very good at distinguishing detail, but it does enable the detection of tiny movements

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a fly's compound eye, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals an array of colorful lenses, known as ommatidia, that collectively form the surface of this fascinating insect's eye. Belonging to the hover fly family Syrphidae, these compound eyes possess remarkable visual capabilities. While not particularly adept at discerning fine details, the compound eye excels in detecting minuscule movements in its environment. This evolutionary adaptation allows flies to swiftly react to potential threats or opportunities for survival. The vibrant colors and stunning patterns displayed in this photograph highlight nature's exquisite artistry found within even the smallest creatures. It serves as a reminder of the incredible diversity present in our wild world and offers a glimpse into the realm of zoology and entomology. Taken with advanced imaging technology such as SEM, this false-colored micrograph provides scientists with valuable insights into biological structures and functions. By studying these microscopic wonders, researchers deepen their understanding of vision mechanisms employed by various species. Science Photo Library presents this awe-inspiring image capturing both scientific intrigue and aesthetic appeal. It invites viewers to appreciate nature's wonders while igniting curiosity about the hidden marvels that surround us every day.
