General Information
Term secondary pigment cell ID (Ontology) FBbt:00004232 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Interommatidial pigment cell that lies between the edges of adjacent ommatidia. It contains the red screening pigment pteridine, as well as ommochrome granules. Together with tertiary pigment cells, it secretes the lens between the facets.[ FlyBase:FBrf0064798 ]
