Mirrors in eye structure

This is an interesting news item that I read today: Spookfish uses mirrors for eyes It appears that the four-eyed spookfish to be the first vertebrate ever found to use mirrors, rather than lenses, to focus light in its eyes. Note the article contains a link to the magazine/journal current biology.Kgrr (talk) 19:35, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The article is not published yet it will be in the next issue I think you have to wait for that before you can edit this page JantjePietje (talk) 00:08, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Probably resulting from the above, this article currently states that the said Spookfish is the only vertebrate that "uses mirrors in its eyes" [sic]. However, the well known tapetum lucidum is clearly a use of a mirror in eyes, though not for focussing: I will therefore amend this article to include the specification of focussing, as the Spookfish's own article already does. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 90.193.78.36 (talk) 16:28, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
