The lens design by Descartes (above left) for maximum clarity also existed in the
lens of a trilobite species (above right).
The light rays (yellow) enter the lens from the left and are focused on a single point
on the right of the lens (blue), thanks to the delicate curvature. Descartes’ lens con-
sists of one single part. In the trilobite, however, there was an additional unit of chit-
in (white). A number of magnesium atoms were arranged along the intermediate sur-
face between the two units. As the light passed through the upper lens unit (blue),
the white section facilitated the focusing of the light onto a single point.
The lens design by Huygens for maximum clarity (above left) also existed in the lens
of a trilobite species (above right). It serves the same function as Descartes’, but with
a different curvature, and collects the light on a single point. The trilobite eye again
had an additional unit of chitin (white).
