Drosophila Compound Eye [edit]

SEM image of the compound eye of a Drosophila.

Image I took with a Scanning Electron Microscpe at 2740x magnification. It shows the Drosophilia's (Fruit Fly) compound eye and its "eye lashes." Since it has no eye lids, the hairs sweep the eye, clean it, then fall off.

Is a larger version of the image available? Also, can you add it to the fruit fly article? — ₀₉₁₈^BRIAN • 2006-02-16 06:01
Oppose, it is not in focus. At 2k mag that should be no problem at all (if you sputtered on a thin layer of gold). Also it is way to small. --Dschwen 07:26, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose agree with Dschwen Calderwood 07:41, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, for same reasons as above--Looper5920 12:15, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose out of focus - Adrian Pingstone 14:54, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per above. Flcelloguy (A note?) 21:13, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, out of focus, too small image. Maybe smaller magnification should be used for better context. Good subject, I'd like to see more SEM images.--Jyril 21:30, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. I don't see this as particularly more special than any other SEM image. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 21:57, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
