Under the Microscope
The Web site from BioMedia (1) is a fascinating look
(no pun intended) at the eyes of other animals. Various images
of eyeballs link to essays that explain such questions as how
animals can see underwater and how many times the eye independently
evolved in the animal kingdom. The next site (2) is based on
a PBS Nova documentary about nocturnal animals. Visitors can
click on an image of an eye to learn more about the animal that
uses it to see in the dark. The San Diego Natural History Museum
provides the kid-friendly Web site, which does a terrific job
of explaining the anatomy and function of different types of
eyes (3). The next site, provided by Tufts University, offers
photos of how squirrels, sharks, turtles, and bees might see
the world compared with human vision (4). Andrew Giger, a neuroscientist
working on bee vision at the Australian National University,
wrote the program B-EYE for his research. Visitors to his Web
site (5) can see what a selection of grey-scale images might
look like from a bee's perspective. The next site (6) is provided
by about.com, offering a detailed article about bird vision.
Similarly, the next Web site from the North American Hunting
Retriever Association contains an extensive review of an article
that appeared in the _Journal of the Veterinary Medical Association_
about dog vision (7). Finally, the last site is a page from Micscape
- the online monthly magazine of Microscopy UK - showing how
the eyes of various mollusks look under the microscope (8).
