Fly eyesight research. Fly with electrodes attached to its optic muscles. The electrodes record information on the movement of the eyes and sends it to a computer to be analysed. This research is being carried out to help scientists understand how flies use their eyes to guide their flight. It is of particular interest to engineers designing mini and micro UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles). Photographed at CNRS (Centre national de la recherche scientifique) Marseilles, France.
