Ocelli
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
Ocelli is one of the types of photoreceptor organs in animals. Also called 'simple eyes'. Ocelli are miniature eyes capable just of sensing light but not of distinguishing its direction.
Ocelli are found in many invertebrates. Other photoreceptor organs include image forming eyes like in higher animals and photo-sensing cells.
