The deep-sea bioluminescent squid, Watasenia scintillans, has three visual pigments: The major one (A1 pigment) is based on retinal and has 2max=484 nm, the second one (A2 pigment) is based on 3-dehydroretinal and has 2m~x = 500 rim, and the third one (A4 pigment) is based on 4-hydroxyretinal and ha
## Abstract The visual cells in the retinae of the sturgeon were studied by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Our investigations revealed the presence of rods, two types of single cones, one type of double cone (two nonidentical cone components adhered together), an
We analyze the kinetics of a pigment system with thermal and photochemical transitions among its states. The general mathematical description is obtained and is then specialized to systems with two stable states (states with negligible thermal outlets) in which the total amount of pigment is conserv
