Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the makeup of the compound eyes of crustaceans - creatures such as lobsters, shrimp and crabs. It builds upon earlier research by the author to classify the different units, known as ommatidia, that make up the eye, and the ways in which they are arranged. The author discusses the developmental biology of the eyes, offering new insights into how they are constructed, and proposes a novel way of interpreting prior research. The author draws distinctions between different types of ommatidia, identifying five types of cell that make up the structure. There is discussion of the lens, the cone-shaped cells that give the eye its sensitivity to light, and the optic nerve that carries signals to the brain. The author also reviews the existing models for how ommatidia are arranged, presenting new classifications that better account for his observations. The result is a meticulous study of crustacean eyes, offering a detailed analysis of the components that give them their unique visual capabilities.
