Biomimetic Transparent Eye Protection Inspired by the Carapace of an Ostracod (Crustacea)

In this study we mimic the unique, transparent protective carapace (shell) of myodocopid ostracods, through which their compound eyes see, to demonstrate that the carapace ultrastructure also provides functions of strength and protection for a relatively thin structure. The bulk ultrastructure of th...
