General Information
Term interommatidial cell ID (Ontology) FBbt:00007250 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Cell which is part of the boundary between ommatidia.
Also Known As"inter-ommatidial cell"
CommentThe boundary between ommatidia is only a single cell wide, so each interommatidial cell is not part of any one repeating unit of organization of the retina. However, in some sources, they are included as part of ommatidia, with the repeating unit referred to as the ommatidial core.
