Cuttlefish Boast Most Accurate Vision of Any AnimalCuttlefish have the most acute polarization vision yet found in any animal, researchers at the Univ. of Bristol have discovered by showing them movies on a modified LCD computer screen to test their eyesight. Cuttlefish and their colorblind cousins, squid and octopus, see aspects of light – including polarized light – that are invisible to humans, giving them a covert communication channel. The Bristol study, published in Current Biology found that cuttlefish were much more sensitive to polarization than previously thought.Read more: http://www.laboratoryequipment.com/news-Researchers-Use-LCD-Screens-to-Test-Cuttlefish-Vision-022112.aspx
