Lenses7
- Each compound eye has many lenses, and each lens focuses light onto its own set of light-sensitive cells. (drwile.com)
- In addition, the small lenses have a nearly infinite depth of field - objects stay in focus whether they are near or far from the eye. (drwile.com)
- Nature article, as many as 16,000 hexagonal lenses per eye) than most of those modern groups do. (evolutionnews.org)
- But Paterson speculates that the eyes of a living anomalocaridid would have been bulbous, and that if non-flattened eyes were to be found, many more lenses would be discovered on the other side. (evolutionnews.org)
- Natural selection may have selected for such eye lenses in order to maximize optic nerve response in a dim environment ( Clarkson and Levi-Setti, 1975 ). (trilobites.life)
- Bugs do not have lungs and most have compound eyes, meaning each eye has many lenses. (earthandanimals.com)
- Clear calcite crystals formed the lenses of their eyes. (knowpia.com)

Primitive arthropod1
- The hypothesis that primitive arthropod eyes evolved in the Precambrian seems very sound. (trilobites.life)
Group2
- The group is generally regarded as monophyletic, and many analyses support the placement of arthropods with cycloneuralians (or their constituent clades) in a superphylum Ecdysozoa. (alchetron.com)

Genes1
- Genes dictate protein sequence, that dictates protein shape, that dictates protein function, and ultimately the function of the eye. (trilobites.life)
