  • Title: Independence of location of light absorption and discrete wave latency distribution in Limulus ventral nerve photoreceptors.
    Author: Spiegler JB, Yeandle S.
    Journal: J Gen Physiol; 1974 Oct; 64(4):494-502. PubMed ID: 4423343.
    Abstract:
    Discrete waves of depolarization evoked by dim pulses of light in dark-adapted ventral nerve photoreceptors in Limulus show fluctuation in their latency. To a resolution of 5-10 microm the latency distribution function appears to be independent of where in the receptor light is absorbed. Also, there is apparent local adaptation to bright light pulses.
