Which animal has 8 eyes?

Spiders usually have eight eyes but few have good eyesight. Some spiders have median eyes that can detect polarised light and they use this ability to navigate while hunting.

Eight eyes (E) are typically placed in two rows, on the front of the carapace. The rows are described as anterior (A) or posterior (P) and then the position within the row is lateral (L) or median (M). The AME or direct eyes, differ markedly in structure from the other indirect eyes (ALE, PLE, PME). The direct eyes appear dark, whereas the indirect eyes usually have a layer of light reflecting crystals, the tapetum, behind the light sensitive retina, giving these eyes a silvery appearance. The tapetum increases visual sensitivity because light entering the light sensitive retinal cells is immediately reflected back through them, so intensifying the image. These indirect eyes are adapted for seeing at low light intensities and their lenses are often enlarged in spiders with good vision. Spider eye lenses are better than photographic lenses in terms of their image brightness (very low F-numbers). However, because most spider eye retinas have relatively coarse-grained mosaics of receptor cells, their resolution of these images is much poorer than in the human eye.

Reflector eyes

Most wolf spiders (Lycosidae) hunt in the dimmer light of dusk and moonlight. Their four large posterior eyes have well-developed tapeta which help them spot prey movement in such low light conditions. At night, wolf spiders can be easily spotted because the tapeta in their large eyes shine brightly in torchlight.

Search-light eyes

Net-casting spiders (Deinopidae) have eight eyes, but in one genus, Deinopis, two of the rear eyes (PME) are enormously enlarged. Their great, curved lenses face forward like twin search-lights, giving the spiders a rather menacing appearance (the 'ogre-faced spiders'). The two biggest eyes are specialised for providing outstanding low-light night vision. They have enormous lenses that give a wide field of view and gather available light very efficiently. The lenses have an F number of 0.58 which means they can concentrate available light more efficiently than a cat (F 0.9) or an owl (F 1.1). Each night a large area of light sensitive membrane is manufactured within these eyes (and rapidly destroyed again at dawn). This remarkable combination of large, powerful lenses and the nightly production of new light-sensitive membrane, enables net-casting spiders to accurately track and 'net' their prey at night. Interestingly, they do this without the help of a tapetum, the reflecting layer present in other spiders with highly sensitive indirect eyes. White faecal spots on a leaf below the net are aiming points placed there by the spider.

What is Glock MOA?

That's where MOA comes in. So, what is MOA and what does it stand for? MOA, or Minute of Angle, is an angular measurement that represents approximately a one-inch diameter circle at 100 yards.

sigsauer.com - The Difference Between a 3 MOA and a 6 MOA Reticle in Red Dot Sights

Red dot sights, or reflex sights, are the best way to ensure fast target acquisition and rapid, accurate follow-up shots. But shopping for the best red dot sight for your pistol can be a challenge if you’re not sure what to look for. At SIG SAUER, our ROMEO series of red dot sights, particularly the ROMEO1Pro, are offered in 3 MOA and 6 MOA. So what does that mean and which one should you buy? Let’s take a closer look. Pistol mounted red dot sights have become very popular not only with aging-eyed shooters but also with most recreational shooters simply because they make target acquisition easier and help to increase your accuracy. All you need to do is line up the target and the dot, as opposed to lining up the front sight and the rear sight with the target, and pull the trigger. That’s where MOA comes in. So, what is MOA and what does it stand for? MOA, or Minute of Angle, is an angular measurement that represents approximately a one-inch diameter circle at 100 yards. When you look through the glass in your red dot sight, you will see the red dot reticle. When you aim that red dot at your target down range at 100 yards, a 3 MOA reticle will look like a 3-inch circle on the target while a 6 MOA reticle will look like a 6-inch circle on the target.
