Summary Introduction
To describe: The photoreceptor unit of a compound eye.
Introduction: A compound eye is an organ found in the arthropods. The organ is mainly used for vision. The organ is well developed in the arthropods that it can detect Ultraviolet light and can visualize in infrared light.
Summary Introduction
To explain: The ways by which the photoreceptor unit is used to adjust to varying amounts of light.
Introduction: Structural and morphological development in their life stages are the basic parameters on which these species are classified. Arthropods are invertebrates; thus, they possess some other characteristic features which support their body mechanically and structurally.
