Antarctic
The Antarctic (US English, UK English or and or) is a polar region around the Earth's South Pole, opposite the Arctic region around the North Pole.

Arthropod
An arthropod (from Greek ἄρθρον arthron, "joint" and πούς pous, "foot") is an invertebrate animal having an exoskeleton (external skeleton), a segmented body, and paired jointed appendages.

Arthropod eye
Apposition eyes are the most common form of eye, and are presumably the ancestral form of compound eye.
New!!: Ommatidium and Arthropod eye · See more »
Axon
An axon (from Greek ἄξων áxōn, axis) or nerve fiber, is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, that typically conducts electrical impulses known as action potentials, away from the nerve cell body.

Biomimetics
Biomimetics or biomimicry is the imitation of the models, systems, and elements of nature for the purpose of solving complex human problems.
New!!: Ommatidium and Biomimetics · See more »
Brain
The brain is an organ that serves as the center of the nervous system in all vertebrate and most invertebrate animals.
New!!: Ommatidium and Brain · See more »
Compound eye
A compound eye is a visual organ found in arthropods such as insects and crustaceans.
New!!: Ommatidium and Compound eye · See more »
Cornea
The cornea is the transparent front part of the eye that covers the iris, pupil, and anterior chamber.
New!!: Ommatidium and Cornea · See more »
Crustacean
Crustaceans (Crustacea) form a large, diverse arthropod taxon which includes such familiar animals as crabs, lobsters, crayfish, shrimp, krill, woodlice, and barnacles.
New!!: Ommatidium and Crustacean · See more »
Dragonfly
A dragonfly is an insect belonging to the order Odonata, infraorder Anisoptera (from Greek ἄνισος anisos, "uneven" and πτερόν pteron, "wing", because the hindwing is broader than the forewing).
New!!: Ommatidium and Dragonfly · See more »
Eye
Eyes are organs of the visual system.
New!!: Ommatidium and Eye · See more »
Fly
True flies are insects of the order Diptera, the name being derived from the Greek δι- di- "two", and πτερόν pteron "wings".
New!!: Ommatidium and Fly · See more »
Hexagon
In geometry, a hexagon (from Greek ἕξ hex, "six" and γωνία, gonía, "corner, angle") is a six-sided polygon or 6-gon.
New!!: Ommatidium and Hexagon · See more »
Insect
Insects or Insecta (from Latin insectum) are hexapod invertebrates and the largest group within the arthropod phylum.
New!!: Ommatidium and Insect · See more »
Isopoda
Isopoda is an order of crustaceans that includes woodlice and their relatives.
New!!: Ommatidium and Isopoda · See more »
Melanocyte
Melanocytes are melanin-producing neural crest-derived cells located in the bottom layer (the stratum basale) of the skin's epidermis, the middle layer of the eye (the uvea), the inner ear, vaginal epithelium, meninges, bones, and heart.
New!!: Ommatidium and Melanocyte · See more »
Microlens
A microlens is a small lens, generally with a diameter less than a millimetre (mm) and often as small as 10 micrometres (µm).
New!!: Ommatidium and Microlens · See more »
Millipede
Millipedes are a group of arthropods that are characterised by having two pairs of jointed legs on most body segments; they are known scientifically as the class Diplopoda, the name being derived from this feature.
New!!: Ommatidium and Millipede · See more »
Moth
Moths comprise a group of insects related to butterflies, belonging to the order Lepidoptera.
New!!: Ommatidium and Moth · See more »
Nerve
A nerve is an enclosed, cable-like bundle of axons (nerve fibers, the long and slender projections of neurons) in the peripheral nervous system.
New!!: Ommatidium and Nerve · See more »
Ommatidium
The compound eyes of arthropods like insects, crustaceans and millipedes are composed of units called ommatidia (singular: ommatidium).
New!!: Ommatidium and Ommatidium · See more »
Photoreceptor cell
A photoreceptor cell is a specialized type of neuroepithelial cell found in the retina that is capable of visual phototransduction.
New!!: Ommatidium and Photoreceptor cell · See more »
Pixel
In digital imaging, a pixel, pel, dots, or picture element is a physical point in a raster image, or the smallest addressable element in an all points addressable display device; so it is the smallest controllable element of a picture represented on the screen.
New!!: Ommatidium and Pixel · See more »
Pseudopupil
In the compound eye of invertebrates such as insects and crustaceans, the pseudopupil appears as a dark spot which moves across the eye as the animal is rotated.
New!!: Ommatidium and Pseudopupil · See more »
Sphingidae
The Sphingidae are a family of moths (Lepidoptera), commonly known as hawk moths, sphinx moths, and hornworms; it includes about 1,450 species.
New!!: Ommatidium and Sphingidae · See more »
Supraesophageal ganglion
The supraesophageal ganglion ("arthropod brain" or "a. microbrain") is the first part of the arthropod and especially insect central nervous system.
New!!: Ommatidium and Supraesophageal ganglion · See more »
Zygentoma
Zygentoma are an order in the class insecta.
