The optical alignment of individual cuticular cones in the dioptric array of the lateral eye of Limulus polyphemus was determined with a precision two-circle goniometer constructed and mounted to the stage of a compound microscope and using a new formaldehyde-induced fluorescence procedure.

Our results revealed two variants of visual field and eye curvature which can actually be discriminated in casual examination of adult animals.
