Photoreceptor/Legends

"Argh! I can't see!"

- C-3PO with his photorecptors pulled out by Salacious Crumb.

Photoreceptors, sometimes known as optical sensors 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 specialised.
