As far as we can tell, the resolution of these digital compound eyes is currently very low. Each microlens represents just a single pixel, and the entire device only has around 100 microlenses.

The major alternative used in nature is the compound eye. This is a dense mosaic made up of many tiny eyes. When you look at a dragonfly, for example, you’ll notice that the head is almost all eye.

Scientists have built a digital camera inspired by the compound eyes of insects such as bees and flies. The camera's hemispherical array of 180 microlenses give it a 160˚ field of view and the ...

In arthropods, evolution has created a remarkably sophisticated class of imaging systems, with a wide-angle field of view, low aberrations, high acuity to motion and an infinite depth of field. A ...

Their dome-shaped eyes are packed with multiple tiny eye elements topped with corneal lenses. The first digital camera prototype is closest to the fire ant's compound eyes, which only have 180 of ...

It looks just like a bug's compound eye, and works like one too. John Rogers, an engineer at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, developed the dime-sized camera by staring deep into ...

Their dome-shaped eyes are packed with multiple tiny eye elements topped with corneal lenses. The first digital camera prototype is closest to the fire ant’s compound eyes, which only have 180 ...

Compound eyes with large ommatidia help animals navigate low-light conditions. But A. koninckii 's eye facets each measured just 0.001 inches (35 micrometers) in diameter — on the smaller side ...

Single lens eyes, like those in humans and many other animals, can create sharp images, but the compound eyes of insects and crustaceans have an edge when it comes to peripheral vision, light ...

The bug-eye cam consists of a flexible array of 180 artificial ommatidia, comparable to the number in the eyes of fire ants or bark beetles (but much fewer than in dragonflies, which have about ...

The Walls Have Compound Eyes: Most Households Teem with Insect Life Scientists find there’s nearly a 100 percent chance that bugs are creeping, slithering and hopping throughout your home at ...

Jan 09, 2019 Artificial bug eyes (Nanowerk News) Single lens eyes, like those in humans and many other animals, can create sharp images, but the compound eyes of insects and crustaceans have an edge ...
