    Types: Zoom Fresnel Lenses

    Uploaded by

    There are two main types of eyes in nature: simple eyes with one photoreceptive surface and compound eyes with multiple individual lenses. Simple eyes can be as complex as compound eyes and any eye type can adapt to most behaviors or environments, with the only limitation being resolution for compound eyes which is less than 1 degree. Eyes also differ based on whether their photoreceptor cells are ciliated or rhabdomeric.

    There are ten different eye layoutsindeed every technological method of capturing an optical
    image commonly used by human beings, with the exceptions ofzoom and Fresnel lenses, occur in
    nature.[1] Eye types can be categorised into "simple eyes", with one concave photoreceptive surface,
    and "compound eyes", which comprise a number of individual lenses laid out on a convex surface.
    [1]

    Note that "simple" does not imply a reduced level of complexity or acuity. Indeed, any eye type can

    be adapted for almost any behaviour or environment. The only limitations specific to eye types are
    that of resolutionthe physics of compound eyesprevents them from achieving a resolution better
    than 1. Also, superposition eyes can achieve greater sensitivity than apposition eyes, so are better
    suited to dark-dwelling creatures.[1] Eyes also fall into two groups on the basis of their
    photoreceptor's cellular construction, with the photoreceptor cells either being cilliated (as in the
    vertebrates) or rhabdomeric. These two groups are not monophyletic; the cnidaria also possess
    cilliated cells, [10] and some annelids possess both.[11]
