Confocal image of the developing eye of a chick embryo. The dark region in the centre is the where the surface layer has invaginated to form the lens vesicle. The tissue surrounding this space is stai...

Scanning electron micrograph of the Drosophila compound eye. Close-up shows the multi-faceted cornea (pink) and the thin, hair-like structures called setae (green) which are believed to reduce glare.

Projection a series of confocal images of the eye of a commmon blue damselfly. This projection shows the regular, crystal-like architecture of the eye of the Enallagma cyathigerum, an active visual pr...

Confocal micrograph of the head region of a transgenic zebrafish embryo. The large circular structure is the eye, showing the structure of the retina. Some neurons in the brain are highlighted in gre...

Confocal micrograph showing the connections of the visual system in a four-day-old zebrafish embryo. Staining of the neurons, glia and optic nerve illustrate the connections between the retina and the...

This study of the zebrafish eye is a series of four images taken at increasing magnifications. The first image is the SEM block face of the zebrafish eye. This is followed by this image, the second ...

This study of the zebrafish eye is a series of four images taken at increasing magnifications. The first image is the SEM block face of the zebrafish eye. This is followed by a second image that is ...

This confocal micrograph shows the detailed structure of the retina from a one-month-old mouse. The retina is the photoreceptive organ of the eye. It is composed of layers of neuronal cells that captu...
