Insect eye anatomy. Computer artwork showing the structure of a compound eye from an insect. Compound eyes are made up of individual lenses called ommatidia (hexagonal,blue,and far right). Each ommatidium is a tiny simple eye that sends a signal to the fly'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 | |
