The surface structure of the compound eyes of 6 Drosophila species and 12 eye mutants of D. melanogaster were compared by scanning electron microscopy. D. melanogaster, D. simulans, D. hydei, D. funebris and D. virilis displayed hexagonal facets and differed only slightly in the distribution of bristles. D. lebanonensis displayed tetragonal facets.No obvious differences in surface structure of the eyes of colour mutants of D. melanogaster were found. Mutants with structural modifications of the eyes revealed irregular patterns of bristles, variations in bristle number and variations in facet shape, size and organization. The mutant spa(pol) does not display clear-cut delineated facets.
通过扫描电子显微镜比较了 6 种果蝇物种和 12 种黑腹果蝇眼部突变体的复眼表面结构。黑腹果蝇、D. simulans、D. hydei、D. funebris 和 D. virilis 显示出六边形的小眼面，且刚毛的分布仅略有不同。D. lebanonensis 显示出四边形的小眼面。黑腹果蝇的眼色突变体的眼睛表面结构没有明显差异。具有眼部结构修饰的突变体显示出不规则的刚毛模式、刚毛数量的变化以及小眼面形状、大小和组织的变化。突变体 spa(pol) 不显示清晰界定的小眼面。
