Compound eye of wasp,coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). This is the eye of a digger wasp (family: Sphecidae). The eye consists of hundreds of individual structures called ommatidia. Each ommatidium is capped by a cuticular biconvex lens,and it is the cumulative effect of these that produces the vision of a compound eye.
