Still Waters Posted March 23, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 23, 2014 The University of Tubingen's Institute of Anatomy has discovered a fish with a previously unknown type of eye. The aptly-named glasshead barreleye lives at depths of 800 to 1000 meters. It has a cylindrical eye pointing upwards to see prey, predators or potential mates silhouetted against the gloomy light above. But the eye also has a mirror-like second retina which can detect bioluminescent flashes created by deep-sea denizens to the sides and below.. http://phys.org/news...nknown-eye.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
