The Lund Vision Group
is internationally recognised as one of the leading groups in comparative visual science in the world. With around 20 academics our research stretches across the entire animal kingdom, from the tiny eyes of jellyfishes, via the compound eyes of insects and crustaceans, to the advanced camera eyes of squids and vertebrates. Our speciality is the design and evolution of eyes, and also how eyes are adapted to the lifestyles and habitats of animals. Our techniques range from optics, electrophysiology and theoretical modelling, to microscopy, molecular biology and visual behaviour.
