The highlights of this review are as follows: The authors propose several parameters for evaluating biomimetic curved artificial compound eyes (BCACEs), including the field of view, acceptance angle ...
By adding a conical microlens to the distal end of the fibre, the plastic optical fibre mimics the function of an ommatidium, collecting and transmitting light to the sensing unit. A bundle of ...
This gives them a wide field of vision, although each ommatidium is connected to just one “pixel”, which doesn’t add up to particularly high definition. For our ancestors, the evolutionary ...
