Cell which is part of the boundary between ommatidia.
The boundary between ommatidia is only a single cell wide, so each interommatidial cell is not part of any one repeating unit of organization of the retina. However, in some sources, they are included as part of ommatidia, with the repeating unit referred to as the ommatidial core.
