immature eight-cell ommatidial precursor cluster [FBbt_00001772]
Ommatidial precursor cluster composed of eight future photoreceptors. It forms when the precursors of photoreceptors of R1, R7 and R6 form during the second mitotic wave and join the cluster. The nuclei of these newly joined cells begin to climb apically, with R7 lagging behind R1 and R6.
