An eyespot, often called a stigma (derived from Greek for spot), is a heavily-pigmented organelle located near the cell membrane that seems to function in light reception in â¦ certain single-celled organisms.
Pit eyes, also known as stemma, are eye-spots which may be set into a pit to reduce the angles of light that enters and affects the eyespot, to allow the organism to deduce the angle of incoming light. Found in about 85% of phyla, these basic forms were probably the precursors to more advanced types of simple eye.
