this is interesting... news.bbc.co.uk A tiny sea creature could hold the key for better cameras. Researchers in the US are studying a relative of the starfish, known as a brittlestar, whose arms are covered with perfect lenses. The lenses provide the brittlestar with all-round vision. Scientists say they are better than any optical devices developed in the lab. ... "These creatures are able to focus light about 20 times better than any manufactured lenses that we have now," said Dr Aizenberg.
