Lobsters’ [[eye]]s can detect motion under low-light conditions but do not discern much detail. However, unlike most eyes, which use lenses to refract light, lobster eyes have no lens. Instead, each eye has a grid of around thirteen thousand square ducts, open at the top, with a crystalline lining that reflects light onto retinal cells. Space scientists are using this as the basis for the design of a new X-ray-vision space telescope called Lobster-ISS because it will be mounted on the [[International Space Station]]. The angles of the mirrors inside lobster eyes are just shallow enough to redirect X-ray signals without absorbing them.
