Abstract

We describe apparatus and methods to measure the sensitivity of arthropod eyes to wavelength and polarization. While these general methods are well-known in the retinography community, they are less familiar to the general optics community. Measurement of polarization sensitivity is particularly uncommon even among retinographers, and our research plan and example results are detailed.
