Development and differentiation of the eye in Platynereis dumerilii (Annelida, Polychaeta)
TL;DR: The nereid polychaete, Platynereis dumerilii, possess two pairs of post‐trochophoral eyes with one vitreous body each and the rate of eye development and differentiation varies.

Larval and adult eyes in Capitella spec. I (Annelida, Polychaeta)
TL;DR: Larval and adult eyes of the capitellid Capitella spec are investigated by electron microscopy, finding a ring of microvilli‐like structures that project from the edge of the pigment cup and form a kind of diaphragm around the head of the sensory cell.

Ultrastructure of nuchal organs in some marine polychaetes
TL;DR: The nuchal organs of four marine polychaete species with different habits were investigated by electron microscopy.

Ultrastructure of prostomial photoreceptors in four marine polychaete species (annelida).
TL;DR: The photoreceptors of four polychaete species were investigated by transmission electron microscopy: Eteone longa and Anaitides mucosa, Scolelepis squamata, Spionidae, and Heteromastus filiformis.

Eye structure of Ophryotrocha puerilis (Polychaeta: Dorvilleidae)
TL;DR: The protandric hermaphrodite Ophryotrocha puerilis possesses one pair of eyes proper, which have to be regarded as protrusions from the brain, while epidermal cells seem to differentiate to crystalline cells (reflector) and are deposited onto the sensory complex.
