Inside the compound eye of a fiddler crab: This electron micrograph shows a cross-section through one of the many thousand elongated ommatidia (eye units). Seven retinula cells contribute microvillus projections to a central photosensitive rhabdom at perpendicular angles. This allows the crab to discriminate between horizontally and vertically polarized light.
