What’s this compound eyes anyway? Well. It is a synthetic device,

Luke Lee, professor of bioengineering and leader of a research team he calls the Bio-Poets, is reporting today that his synthetic devices made of complex plastic materials can “see” in all directions simultaneously, and could well find uses in fields as varied as medicine, 3-D cameras and even espionage.

which was designed based on the structure of the eyes of dragonfly:

The bulbous compound eyes of many insects contain thousands of individual lenses, each of which sees in a single direction, but whose images are melded into a single, wide-angle view that allows the insect to survey its entire neighborhood at once. (LINK)

It is composed of 8,370 lenses in about the size of a pinhead.

The compound eyes he and his colleagues have developed consists of exactly 8,370 individual lenses, each no larger than a pinpoint, and all clustered like a honeycomb in a single hemisphere about the size of a pinhead — all in all, a true compound eye working on the same principle as the eye of a fly or a bumblebee.(LINK)

If you’ll get this kind of eyes, think how lucky you are.
