| Title | Land, Michael Francis: certificate of election to the Royal Society |
| Date | 1981 |
| Description | Citation typed |
| Citation | Distinguished for studies of the optical mechanisms of the eyes of invertebrates, with particular reference to the graded index lenses of spiders and to reflector optics in simple and compound eyes; for theoretical analysis of the properties of biological reflectors in general; and for experimental analyses of visual orientation mechanisms governing the predatory behaviour of jumping spiders, and the behaviour of flied in free flight. His work is remarkeable for the use of simple experimental methods to reveal new principles of fundamental importance. |
