Eye pitted with Mantis Shrimp

What happens if the human eye collided with mantis shrimp?defeated!...

Eye Complex

Mantis shrimp's eyes as the eyes of an animal called the mostcomplex or complicated in the world. The human eye can see threeprimary colors, namely red, green, and blue. Of the three primarycolors that humans can see another color combination from about 10,000 colors.

Meanwhile, mantis shrimp eyes can see light from infrared toultraviolet. Therefore, he can see the twelve primary colors. It can also see a combination of 12 colors that, of 100,000 colors

Compound Eye
Mantis shrimp's eyes is a kind of compound eye. Compound eyesconsist of small units are very many eyes, even mencaoaithousands. Unit eyes called ommatidia. Each ommatidia have thelens respectively. Thus, each ommatidia to work on their own andlook into different directions. As a result, mantis shrimp can detectmovements faster. Even broader perspective ore from the human eye, both eyes of mantis shrimp moves its own.

Light Polarization
Polarization of light is the light that can not be caught naked eye,such as the human eye. For example when the sun falls into the water. Blinding light so that the view under water is not visible. Ifpeople want to see the underwater scenes were clearly, need towear special sunglasses or a special camera lens.

Mantis shrimp's eyes do not need any tool to see polatisasi Light.His ability to see polarized light in life to catch prey that is transparent and hardly visible in the water. Also for navigation, andto signal to fellow members of mantis shrimp. The signal was todraw attention to his wedding couples or communicate about thecircumstances surrounding sea.
Mantis shrimp can see the different types of light polarity. There is also a more complex light polarities, called circular polarity. Everwatch a movie with 3D glasses? That is the circular polarization of light that can see mantis shrimp
