3D serial reconstruction of eye and visual neuropils. Eye reconstructed on basis of semithin sections of Rilaena triangularis and visual neuropils on basis of Wigglesworth stains of Leiobunum spec.. a eye composed of lens (grey), vitreous body (dark blue), and retina (dark green); note several nerve bundles (orange) exit the eye and project to protocerebrum with retained relative positions representing subsets of retinula cells. b, c dorso-lateral and lateral view showing arrangement of neuropils; orange, eye nerve; light blue, first visual neuropil; purple, neuropil border; red, second visual neuropil; light green, arcuate body. AB, arcuate body; EN, eye nerve; ENB, eye nerve bundles; LE, lens; M, median eye visual neuropil; NB, neuropil border; OE, oesophagus; RE, retina; VB, vitreous body
