The contribution of a sensitizing pigment to the photosensitivity spectra of fly rhodopsin and metarhodopsin

Most of the photoreceptors of the fly compound eye have high sensitivity in the ultraviolet (UV) as well as in the visible spectral range. This UV sensitivity arises from a photostable pigment that acts as a sensitizer for rhodopsin. Because the sensitizing pigment cannot be bleached, the classical...
