Have you ever (imagine) what the world looks like through the eyes of a bee? You can try it out with the Mica Toolbox.
The Mica Toolbox is a free plug-in(插件) (build) by scientists at the University of Exeter in Britain. Together with ImageJ, a popular piece of software for (science)pictures, it can turn many images into animal vision. This means people can check out the pictures appear in the brains of animals such as insects, birds, and fish.
The way we see our world depends on how our eyes deal light. Human eyes have three types of photoreceptors(感光细胞), and this makes us see the (color) of red, green, and blue. Animals, however, might see it (different). A cat's vision is similar to that of human who is color-blind, while bees can see ultraviolet(紫外线)light, easily finding patterns on flowers that show them the way to honey.
As of now, the Mica Toolbox has already been used in many research projects, (look) at, for example, how animals hide (they). You can download the software from researcher Jolyo n Trosclanko's website.
