in any detail

Hi~ !

I need to know the exact meaning of a sentence, which includes the phrase "in any detail."

The sentence is about the life of earthworms.

In the following sentence, how do I understand the meaning of the part unlined?

Does that mean the worms can see things a little, even though it can't recognize the specific details?

Or does that mean that the worms see nothing?

Thanks for your kind comments in advance~!

These sensors are too small to see things in any detail. They simply tell a worm how much light there is.
