Light scattering in the eye of the blowfly chalky mutant: the effect on spectral sensitivity of photoreceptors R1-6.

Abstract excerpt

In non-pigmented insect eyes, stray light causes the narrowing of the spectral sensitivity functions of the visual cells, and this effect is shown to be a sensitive tool for estimation of the stray light absorption by a photoreceptor. Spectral sensitivity functions of single cells of Calliphora chalky mutants were obtained in three sets of experiments with different contribution of stray light in total light...
