- •
Optical ray-tracing was performed on 3D models of ocelli from microtomography data
- •
Orchid bee ocelli have retinal regions to detect focused light
- •
The retinae also have polarization-sensitive regions with trinocular overlap
- •
The organization of rhabdoms would enable polarization analysis between the eyes
