Exner's classic monograph describes the basic optical mechanisms in
operation in compound eyes and, despite the passage of time, still
remains a definitive work. Although his findings were seriously
questioned during the modern revival of interest in compound eyes,
all his major discoveries have now been validated. The principle of
the lens cylinder and the elucidation of the mechanics of
apposition and superposition optics are amongst his outstanding
contributions. It also includes a broad survey of the optics and
anatomy of the eyes of many insect and crustacean species, and the
first explanation for the phenomena of pseudopupils and eyeglow. It
has been faithfully translated from the original with annotations
to aid the reader. The new edition, with a foreword by the late
Karl von Frisch, also includes a concise illustrated appendix
summarizing present knowledge of optical mechanisms in compound
eyes and a useful bibliography.
