Martin Heß

Prof. Dr. Martin Heß is Professor of Systematic Zoology at the Faculty of Biology, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München. His research focuses on the architecture, adaptation and evolution of visual systems across animal species. He employs advanced microscopy techniques and digital imaging methods to investigate morphological and functional aspects of visual organs.

His primary research interests include:

• Comparative analysis of visual system organization
• Evolutionary adaptations in photoreception
• Advanced microscopy applications in zoological research
• Morphological diversity in marine invertebrates
• Optical properties of biological structures
