Fig. 1. Absorbance spectra of rods and cones, and lens transmission. (A)
Long-wave-sensitive (LWS) cones,
max=553 nm; (B)
short-wave-sensitive (SWS) cones,
max=456 nm; (C)
middle-wave-sensitive (MWS) cones,
max=531 nm; (D) rods,
max=508 nm. Open symbols, pre bleach spectrum; closed
symbols, after a white light bleach. Solid lines are visual pigment templates
(Govardovskii et al., 2000).
(E) Distribution histogram of the
max of individual cells.
Cones, open bars; rods, black and shaded bars (bin size 2 nm). (F) Mean lens
transmission of both lenses from a single fish.
