Photoreceptors, sometimes known as optical sensors, lenses, or simply optics, were the visual "organs" of most droids, also used by many cyborgs.

They were often sensitive to a wider visual spectrum than a typical humanoid eye. Droids could have many photoreceptors on their bodies, sometimes highly specialized.

Zam Wesell's ASN-121 assassin droid featured an infrared photoreceptor.^[1]

DesignEdit

The photoreceptors of droids were often made to resemble the eyes of species with which the droids would interact. The LOM-series protocol droid's photoreceptors were made to look familiar to insectoid species such as the Brizzits, Verpines, Gand, Yam'rii, and Xi'Dec^[2], while the CZ-series communications/business droid had optical sensors resembling the eyes of the Stacchati.^[3].
