- 采用成像视网膜密度计 (IRD) 来量化视网膜在19名健康参与者的视网膜中央9度的23个位置的OD.
- 使用基于Beer-Lambert定律的模型分析OD-POS长度关系的拟合数据.
主要成果:
- 视觉色素OD显示POS长度随着POS长度的单调增加,证实了正相关性.
- 基于贝尔-兰伯特定律的线性模型提供了一个不合适的匹配,表明非线性关系.
- 一个包含不同的棒和形视觉颜料度的模型产生了更好的匹配,形OD度为3.8 × 10−3 mol/L,棒OD度为1.8 × 10−3 mol/L.
结论:
- 人类视觉色素OD随着POS长度的增加而增加,这与酒-兰伯特定律一致,但这种关系是非线性的,并且取决于光感应器类型.
- 形视觉色素度大约是棒中的2.1倍 (3.8×10−3对1.8×10−3mol/L).
- 这种差异可能归因于人造光暴露对杆光受体中罗多素度的影响.

Photoreceptors and Visual Pathways
6.0K
At the molecular level, visual signals trigger transformations in photopigment molecules, resulting in changes in the photoreceptor cell's membrane potential. The photon's energy level is denoted by its wavelength, with each specific wavelength of visible light associated with a distinct color. The spectral range of visible light, classified as electromagnetic radiation, spans from 380 to 720 nm. Electromagnetic radiation wavelengths exceeding 720 nm fall under the infrared category,...

Anatomy of the Eyeball
7.1K
The eye is a spherical, hollow structure composed of three tissue layers. The outer layer — the fibrous tunic, comprises the sclera — a white structure — and the cornea, which is transparent. The sclera encompasses some of the ocular surface, most of which is not visible. However, the 'white of the eye' is distinctively visible in humans compared to other species. The cornea, a clear covering at the front of the eye, enables light penetration. The eye's middle...

The Retina

The retina is a layer of nervous tissue at the back of the eye that transduces light into neural signals. This process, called phototransduction, is carried out by rod and cone photoreceptor cells in the back of the retina.
