title: [The ultrastructure of compound eye in the Portunus tritubereulatus under different wavelength lights adaptation].
abstract: The fine structure of compound eye in Portunus tritubereulatus under different wavelength lights adaptation was studied with electron microscopy. The Portunus tritubereulatus were trained in a darkroom for 30 minutes and they were given the lights of different wavelength (red 750 nm, yellow 580 nm, green 560 nm, blue 400 nm). The result showed that fine structures varied with different wavelength lights. Under red light, the diameter of rhabdom was biggest, the microsvilli was orderly. There were more endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria in the cell. The pigment granules were distributed everywhere in the cytoplasm. The dimension of perirhabdomal vacuoles was small. Under blue light, the diameter of rhabdom was smallest, the microsvilli was messy. There were more lamellar bodies, lysosomes and perirhabdomal vacuoles in the cell. The pigment granules were distributed around nucleolus.
