BEHAVIOUR 85 The picture built up in a compound eye of this sort is a mosaic of light and dark spots, each perceived by an individual element. The visual acuity of several Crustacea has been tested by placing them in a round dish, then rotating a pattern of stripes around the dish and finding the finest stripes that the creature responds to, either by swimming in an attempt to keep the same position in relation to a particular group of stripes, or by movements of its eyes show- ing that it is seeing the stripes as they move past. In this way it has been found that the visual acuity is greatest when the proximal pigment is expanded around the retinulae. This is probably effective DISTAL PICMENT CELLS

The distal pigment does not seem to have much effect on visual acuity, but it may be useful in decreasing the sensitivity of the eye in bright light.
