Independence of Location of Light Absorption and Discrete Wave Latency Distribution in Limulus Ventral Nerve Photoreceptors

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 µm the latency distribution function appears to be independent of where in the receptor light is absorbed. Also, there is...

description 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 µm 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.
