‘TRILOBITE EYES INSPIRE BIFOCAL LENSES as researchers from China and the USA have
studied the eyes of a trilobite named Dalmanitina socialis. These creatures had ‘bifocal’ eyes
consisting of two lenses that bent light at different angles, enabling them to see both close up and
far away objects at the same time. The researchers were “inspired by the optical structure of their
eyes” to design a bifocal micro-lens system capable of taking snapshots of scenes containing
objects as close as a few centimetres plus objects that are kilometres away at the same time.
They also used a computer algorithm called a neural network, that mimics the human nervous
system, to compensate for blurriness and aberrations in mid distance objects in the same
scene. The research team wrote in their report: “Inspired by compound eyes of the trilobite
Dalmanitina socialis, we design and construct a chiral light-field camera … Combined with a
deep-learning-based neural network reconstruction algorithm, the system provides distinct
aberration-free photographic capabilities, including the ability to achieve a polarization-controllable
extreme DoF imaging while maintaining high spatial lateral resolution.” (DoF – depth of field)

ED. COM. Don’t worry if you don’t understand all the technical terms in the research team’s
conclusion. Just note the use of the words “inspired” and “design and construct”. Researchers
“inspired” in the right way would be giving honour and thanks to the Creator of the trilobite, as well
as using their God given brains to design and build a similar system, and put it to good use. But
all evolutionists who think either the trilobite built it, or that it came about by chance random
processes deserve the condemnation set out in the Bible’s book of Romans: “Claiming to be wise,
they became fools” (Romans 1:22).’https://creationresearch.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/Enews/enews-20220504.pdf
