Tiling mechanisms of the Drosophila compound eye through geometrical tessellation
Highlights
- Tetragonal as well as hexagonal tiling patterns are formed in the fly eye
- Geometrical tessellation determines the ommatidial tiling pattern
- Distribution of ommatidia and their uniform growth establish the tiling patterns
