THE CHARACTERISTICS OF SYNTHETIC IMAGE OF INSECT''S SUPERPOSITION COMPOUND EYE
昆虫重叠型复眼的光学综合成象特性

In this paper we have completely analysed the characteristics of synthetic image of insect's optical superposition compound eye. The obtained optical theories of spherical array not only are proved, but protoplasm basis and some calculation formulas are provided for designing overwide-angle lens array.At first, the optical characteristics of the effect of the end's convex-ball of crystalline cone on the numerical aperture are calculated, and the expression of the maximum input aperture angle is given. Those calculations prove that the taper of crystalline cone though take from number of crystalline cone receipting from a point source, yet it can make full use of volume of compound eye spheroid. The secand, the optical characteristics of overwide-angle spherical array are discussed, and it is possible to obtain the characteristics of synthetic image of compound eye by multiple pseudoarray axes.
