Mosquito compound eyes, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM).Compound eyes consist of many lenses (spheres) known as ommatidia. Each ommatidium is a simple eye that sends a signal to the mosquito's brain. The brain combines the thousands of images to form a mosaic view of the world. The image is not sharp but is excellent at detecting movement. Magnification: x300 when printed at 10 centimetres wide. (KEYSTONE/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY/EYE OF SCIENCE/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY)
