Abstract
The refractive index reported previously for the rhabdomeres of flies (1.349) has been corrected for waveguide effects. The presented correction method has yielded n1 = 1.365 ± 0.006.
It is argued that an acceptable estimate for the refractive index of the inhomogeneous surroundings of fly rhabdomeres is n2 = 1.339 ± 0.002.
