- "You can take your hands away from your photoreceptors, Threepio."

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]
