It may be objected that my criterion, the presence of axial fibers, is not necessarily characteristic of visual cells. However, the great general occurrence of such axial fibers (Patten,[5] Grenacher,[16] Schreiner,[12] Hesse,[13] myself, in simple complex eye, see below, and perhaps others) in eyes in which the retina has only one kind of cells, would seem to indicate that they are quite characteristic of visual cells. Note again that in the proximal eye of Charybdea there is only one kind of cells and with axial fibers.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
