Description:
Most rhabdomeres in the eye of the fly (Musca domestica) are fluorescent. One kind of fluorescent emission emanates from a photoproduct of the visual pigment, other kinds may be ascribed to photostable pigments. These phenomena provide not only a means of spectrally mapping the retina but also a new spectroscopic tool for analyzing the primary visual processes in vivo.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Franceschini, N -- Kirschfeld, K -- Minke, B -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1981 Sep 11;213(4513):1264-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7268434" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
