Fig. 1. Spectral energy distribution of the adapting backgrounds. The irradiance
measurements are plotted as log irradiance (photons cm2
s–1). (A) Broad-spectrum tungsten halogen adapting background
used in control and cobalt PS and spectral sensitivity experiments. (B) UVS
cone mechanism, adapting background using a UG-11 filter in a tungsten halogen
background channel. (C) LWS cone mechanism, adapting background using a 600LP
cut-off filter.
