 Can anyone suggest literature in which the functioning of the insect eye is explained extensively?

Thanks in advance!

 Jan: Try a University level entomology text book. When I was at university I used, and still have, Chapman, R.F. 1969. The Insects - Structure and Function. It has a 30 page chapter "The Eyes and Vision" which goes into a lot of detail.
I'm sure there are newer editions of this text.
Hope this helps, Tony.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
