Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive examination of the visual system of a common type of light-sensitive copepod: Eucalanus elongatus. Using microscopy and other cutting-edge techniques, the author analyzes the structure and function of the copepod's eyes, consisting of a median frontal eye and two lateral eyes, all of which are embedded in a basal plate of cells containing pigment. The book reviews the history of research on copepod eyes and relates findings to similar studies done on insects and vertebrates. The author highlights the specific structural features of each type of eye, including unique characteristics such as the orientation of the retinal cells and the presence of interior bodies, and uses these to support the concept that the eyes of Eucalanus are inverted, with the light receptor cells turned toward the pigmented region. The findings illuminate the evolutionary relationships between species and offer insights into how light-sensitive organs developed. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
