Hi. I'm not an expert on eyes, so I don't want to edit this but too me at least the sentence "If one eye falls out the other will split in half and go to the other." is not very clear. If someone who knows more agrees maybe they want to clarify it. Jjhunt 06:31, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
Unless the phases of a light wave in different ommatidia can be compared to form a phased array, which seem unlikely, diffraction limits the resolution (in radians) to about the wave length divided by twice the lens diameter. This makes this type of eye surprising in small animals. Sensitivity to ultraviolet is some help here. I am not sure that this belongs in the article at this time. David R. Ingham 01:39, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
{If any bug has clearer vision than this limit, that would seem to imply that its nervous system were something like a quantum computer. Classical descriptions do not preserve phase information of individual photons. If the output of an ommatidia is describable classically, then the photon is described as being received in only one ommatidia and relative phase is not measured. David R. Ingham 04:27, 1 July 2006 (UTC)}
I don't know much about the physiology, but a compound eye looks like a phased array, and does not look as good as a single larger dish or lens antenna if the phases are not used. The relevance to quantum is that if the the light phase is transmitted as a nerve phase, without a reference signal and decoding, then neurons can transmit data by their relative phases in other contexts.

I love to see something about the eyes of trilobites or other arthopods. Right now it seems focused almost exclusively on insects. Eluchil404 07:51, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
I'm posting the above information here for future reference. I may try to work it into the article later. - AED 05:30, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

I think that there should be more sections than just "Types". Maybe "structure", "evolution", etc. Iron C hris | (talk) 21:23, 15 November 2006 (UTC) |
