Abstract excerpt
The light response of fly photoreceptor cells is modulated by changes in free Ca(2+) concentration. Fly phototransduction and most processes regulating it take place in or very close to the rhabdomere. We therefore measured the kinetics and the absolute values of the free Ca(2+) concentration in the rhabdomere of fly photoreceptor cells in vivo by making use of the natural optics of the fly's eye. We show that...
