Eye anatomy of velvet worms.

The eyes of Euperipatoides rowelli are small ocelli-like structures with a curved cornea, about 100 μm in diameter in adult animals. Scales: 500 μm in (A) and 100 μm in (B). (C) Light microscopic image of a stained semi-thin sections of the eye of Euperipatoides rowelli. Note that there is no space between the lens and the rhabdoms in the retina (photoreceptor volume). Cornea (co), lens (le), rhabdom layer/photoreceptor volume (rh), layer of screening pigment layer (sp), perikaryal layer (pk), adopted from [9].
