Mutant fruit fly compound eye. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the abnormal compound eye of a mutant fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster). The eye is formed from numerous lens structures known as ommatidia,but a genetic mutation has caused these to develop unevenly. Fruit flies are widely used in genetic experiments,particularly in mutation experiments,because they reproduce rapidly and their genetic systems are well understood.
