Abstract: A kind of double-layer curved compound eye (DLCCE) inspired by natural compound eye was developed and fabricated in two-photon polymerization (TPP) technology to solve the existing problems, ...

While a human eye has only one lens, the main eyes of flies are compound eyes that each consist of hundreds or thousands of individual lenses. A fruit fly eye has about 700, and a blowfly eye 5,000.
