Fig. 4. Results from microspectophotometric analyses of photoreceptors of D.
pumilio, together with best-fit rhodopsin templates (smooth lines; from
Lipetz and Cronin, 1988). (A)
Rod photoreceptors (
max=491 nm; N=16). (B) SWS
cone photoreceptors (
max=466 nm; N=5). (C) MWS
cone photoreceptors (
max=488 nm; N=14). (D) LWS
cone photoreceptors (
max=560 nm; N=20). (E) Single
oil droplet from a single LWS cone inner segment, showing no significant
absorption throughout the visual spectrum.
