Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Drosophila Compound Eye

 
SEM image of the compound eye of a Drosophila.

Image I took with a Scanning Electron Microscpe at 2740x magnification. It shows the Drosophilia's (Fruit Fly) compound eye and its "eye lashes." Since it has no eye lids, the hairs sweep the eye, clean it, then fall off.
