  • Title: MORPHOLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS AND MICROSPECTROPHOTOMETRIC DATA FROM PHOTORECEPTORS IN THE RETINA OF THE SEA RAVEN, HEMITRIPTERUS AMERICANUS.
    Author: Collins BA, Macnichol EF.
    Journal: Biol Bull; 1984 Oct; 167(2):437-444. PubMed ID: 29320239.
    Abstract:
    A histological survey of the retinas of some fishes has revealed an unusual cone formation. We repeatedly find these unusual triple cones in 10% of the retinas reviewed. To obtain further information about these photoreceptors, the sea raven, whose retina is known to contain them, was chosen for further study. Microspectrophotometric measurements were made to determine the peak absorbance of the visual pigment contained in the three individual outer segments. We report here the results of measurements made on triple cones found in the retina of the sea raven, Hemitripterus americanus.
