Abstract: Some sea and water animals have strange mirror eyes which have (or might have) potential application in science and technology in general and in X—ray astrophysics in particular. While the principles of mirror eyes of decapods (lobsters, crayfishes) are already applied in space and ground—based imaging experiments, the mirror eyes of specific fishes are still very little investigated.
