Diverse light-sensing organs (i.e., eyes) have evolved across animals. Interestingly, several subcellular analogs have been found in eukaryotic microbes.1 All of these systems have a common “recipe”: a light occluding or refractory surface juxtaposed to a membrane-layer enriched in type I rhodopsins...
