Definition of compound eye in English: compound eyenoun An eye consisting of an array of numerous small visual units, as found in insects and crustaceans. Contrasted with simple eye Example sentencesExamples - The ommatidia of these two groups are the most similar of the major arthropod groups and compound eyes are common in many hexapods and crustaceans.
- In common with many other insects, adult butterflies have antennae, compound eyes, three pairs of legs, a hard exoskeleton, and a body that is divided into three parts: the head, thorax, and the abdomen.
- Evidently the lenses act to focus light in a manner similar to the compound eyes of insects.
- Crustaceans that have apposition compound eyes as adults, like some crabs, may simply continue to use the larval design with few modifications.
- Fiddler crabs, like their arthropod cousins the insects, have compound eyes.
- The optical design of a compound eye that permits the smallest retinal radius is the apposition type, so it is not surprising that this is the optical plan used in all larval crustacean compound eyes.
- These considerations lead to the interesting hypothesis that genes that code for myodocopid compound eyes were maintained during ostracod evolution in the absence of the eyes themselves.

- Either compound eyes were lost numerous times or very similar eyes evolved separately in multiple lineages.
- Each compound eye is composed of nearly 28,000 individual units, and together the eyes cover most of the head.
- We are all familiar with the idea that there are strikingly different kinds of eyes in animals: insects have compound eyes with multiple facets, while we vertebrates have simple lens eyes.
- The nervous system and sensory system are simple, although some species vibrate their compound eyes to gather more visual information.
- But all sighted insects have compound eyes, consisting of a mosaic of tube-shaped optical lens systems, with photoreceptors at the base of each tube.
- Insect compound eyes contain light-sensitive receptors in which phototransduction takes place.
- The eyes are usually simple, though one group has compound eyes.
- Flies, crabs, and other arthropods have compound eyes in which many, sometimes hundreds, of individual ommatidia, or unit eyes, gather visual information.
- Like the compound eyes of adult crustaceans, larval eyes contain several types of pigments.
- In addition to ocelli and compound eyes, some insects are quite sensitive to sounds, and their chemoreceptive abilities are astounding.
