Appendix 7—figure 7. When the rhabdomeres move the ommatidium lens stays still.

Appendix 7—figure 7.

(A) High-speed video recordings at different depths inside ommatidia before and after a bright light flash. (B) Cornea (ommatidium) lens and the optical structures to the narrow base of the crystal cone remained virtually immobile. Below these, the cone cells showed movement that was half of that seen in the rhabdomeres. In the schematic, red dots and lines indicate adherens junctions that link the photoreceptors to the pigment and cone cells.
