dorsal margin ommatidium [FBbt_02000000]
An ommatidial subtype located in a single row at the dorsal margin of the eye. This ommatidial subtype is specialized to detect the e-vector of polarized sunlight. The dorsal margin ommatidium expresses the opsin Rh3 (FBgn0003249) that detects polarized light in both photoreceptor R7 and R8 cells (Fortini and Rubin, 1990).
