A biomimetic fly photoreceptor model elucidates how stochastic adaptive quantal sampling provides a large dynamic range [PDF]
, 2017 Light intensities (photons/s/um2) in a natural scene vary over several orders of magnitude from shady woods to direct sunlight. A major challenge facing the visual system is how to map such a large dynamic input range to its limited output range, so ...

Development of functional ectopic compound eyes in scarabaeid beetles by knockdown of orthodenticle [PDF]
, 2017 Complex traits like limbs, brains, or eyes form through coordinated integration of diverse cell fates across developmental space and time, yet understanding how complexity and integration emerge from uniform, undifferentiated precursor tissues remains ...

How a fly photoreceptor samples light information in time [PDF]
, 2017 A photoreceptor's information capture is constrained by the structure and function of its light-sensitive parts. Specifically, in a fly photoreceptor, this limit is set by the number of its photon sampling units (microvilli), constituting its light ...

Identification of actin filaments in the rhabdomeral microvilli of Drosophila photoreceptors. [PDF]
The Journal of cell biology, 1990 The phototransductive microvilli of arthropod photoreceptors each contain an axial cytoskeleton. The present study shows that actin filaments are a component of this cytoskeleton in Drosophila. Firstly, actin was detected in the rhabdomeral microvilli and in the subrhabdomeral cytoplasm by immunogold labeling with antiactin.

Polyphenolic Derivatives in Rhabdomeres of the Compound Eye [PDF]
Nature, 1962 THE chemical composition of a homogenized compound eye was reported by Langer1, but until now nothing was known about the components of rhabdomeres alone, although the presence of photosensitive substances in rhabdomeres has been anticipated by many investigators from a long time ago.

Subcellular localization of transcripts in Drosophila photoreceptor neurons: chaoptic mutants have an aberrant distribution [PDF]
, 1990 Photoreceptor neurons in the Drosophila retina are long (100 mu) and narrow, providing a system for the study of the intracellular distribution of transcripts and proteins.

Phototransduction in Drosophila. [PDF]
, 2015 Phototransduction in Drosophila's microvillar photoreceptors is mediated by phospholipase C (PLC) resulting in activation of two distinct Ca(2+)-permeable channels, TRP and TRPL.
