pale ommatidium [FBbt_02000002]

Ommatidial subtype with stochastic distribution throughout the retina, making up about 30% of all ommatidia. This ommatidial subtype is specialized to detect shorter wavelengths (near UV + blue) than yellow ommatidia. The pale ommatidium expresses the near ultraviolet-specific opsin Rh3 (FBgn0003249) in photoreceptor R7 cells and the blue-sensitive Rh5 (FBgn0014019) in photoreceptor R8 cells (Wernet and Desplan, 2004).
