The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the compound eye over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The process by which the anatomical structures of the compound eye are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The adult compound eye is a precise assembly of 700-800 ommatidia. Each ommatidium is composed of 20 cells, identified by cell type and position. An example of compound eye morphogenesis is found in Drosophila melanogaster. A biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of a cell over time from an initial condition to a later condition. The process by which the anatomical structures of the eye are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The process whereby relatively unspecialized cells, e.g. embryonic or regenerative cells, acquire specialized structural and/or functional features that characterize the cells, tissues, or organs of the mature organism or some other relatively stable phase of the organism's life history. Differentiation includes the processes involved in commitment of a cell to a specific fate and its subsequent development to the mature state. The process by which an undifferentiated cell acquires the features of a mystery cell. The mystery cells are a precluster of cells that emerge from the compound eye morphogenetic furrow, normally positioned between R3 and R4. They then disappear into the surrounding pool of undifferentiated cells and have no known fate in the mature ommatidium. An example of this process is found in Drosophila melanogaster.
