Project objective

Vision is the sense for human beings. We can imagine how the world looks like for animals with visual systems like ours. But for animals with very different visual systems this differs, such as fan worms. Fan worms from different differ in their visual systems tremendously. Some have no visible eyes at all, maybe photosensitive cells not visible without technical help. Others have simple eyes consisting of a photoreceptor and a pigment cell. Others have complicated compound eyes, possibly mediating true vision. The different species form a progressing systems for studying eye evolution. These eyes evolved independently from vertebrate and insect eyes, because they are not in the head but on head appendages called fan. These eyes use also other phototransduction cascades than vertebrates or insects. However, what the exact components are, is unknown. My proposal seeks to answer that question.

Are you the coordinator (or a participant) of this project? Plaese send me more information about the "PHOTOBE" project.

For instance: the website url (it has not provided by EU-opendata yet), the logo, a more detailed description of the project (in plain text as a rtf file or a word file), some pictures (as picture files, not embedded into any word file), twitter account, linkedin page, etc.

Send me an email (fabio@fabiodisconzi.com) and I put them in your project's page as son as possible.

Thanks. And then put a link of this page into your project's website.
