Colour vision in the passeriform bird, Leiothrix lutea: correlation of visual pigment absorbance and oil droplet transmission with spectral sensitivity

EJ Maier, JK Bowmaker - Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 1993 - Springer
The visual receptors in the retina of the passeriform bird Leiothrix lutea were examined
microspectro-photometrically. The rods had a maximum absorbance close to 500 nm. Four …
