More information:

Wasp eye. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of numerous lenses, called ommatidia, that make up the compound eye of a wasp (Suborder Apocrita). A compound eye is not very good at distinguishing detail, but it does enable the detection of tiny movements. Magnification: x200 when printed 10 centimetres wide.
