The relative numbers of long-wavelength-sensitive to middle-wavelength-sensitive cones in the human fovea centralis.
The determination of the relative numbers of different cone types in the human retina is fundamental to our understanding of visual sensitivity and color vision; yet direct measurement which provide this basic information have not previously been made for all cone types. Here we present a model which links the detection of a test light of small dimension to the number of cones contributing to d...
متن کاملDark adaptation of the long-wavelength sensitive cones.
Long-wavelength sensitive (L) cone dark adaptation curves were measured with a 10-msec, 20' v.a., 650 nm test flash and a moderate intensity adapting field. When the 650 nm and 500 nm fields were equated for the L cones, the dark adaptation curve fell faster for the 500 nm field than for the 650 nm field. Over the range of adapting lights used, no adjustment of the intensities of the two fields...
متن کاملIsolation of the middle- and long-wavelength-sensitive cones in normal trichromats.
Spectral sensitivity in the red-green spectral range typically reflects the joint influence of the middle-wavelength-sensitive cones (the M or green cones) and long-wavelength-sensitive cones (the L or red cones). The balance of M- and L-cone influence can be altered by presenting the test lights superimposed upon steady background fields of long or short wavelength. We find that presenting tes...
متن کاملHue signals from short- and middle-wavelength-sensitive cones.
Hue sensations resulting from the selective stimulation of short-wavelength-sensitive (S) and middle-wavelength-sensitive (M) cones were deduced from measurements of spectral unique green and unique blue under conditions of high or low S-cone sensitivity relative to M- and long-wavelength-sensitive-cone sensitivity. Selective reduction of S-cone stimulation shifted unique blue toward shorter wa...
متن کاملClinical electroretinography for short wavelength sensitive cones.
We measured electroretinograms (ERGs) for the isolated short-wavelength-sensitive (SWS) cones using a substitution technique. The stimulus was a 5 Hz alternation of 460 nm and 565 nm or 490 nm and 565 nm light of equivalent photopic luminous efficiency. We used a 571 nm narrow-band adaptation field of 7000 td to improve SWS cone isolation and to suppress rod activity. The resulting SWS cone ERG...
