Saturation of the Rod Mechanism of the Retina at High Levels of Stimulation
Abstract
By means of the two-colour threshold method the threshold response of the rod or dark-adapting visual mechanism can be followed to relatively high field intensities. From the results obtained here by this method it is concluded that at a field intensity of about 100 scotopic trolands the sensitivity of the rod mechanism to stimulus differences begins to fall off rapidly and that at about 2000 to 5000 scotopic trolands (corresponding approximately to daylight luminances of 120 to 300 cd/m2) the rod mechanism becomes saturated and is no longer capable of responding to an increase of stimulus. D'après les résultats obtenus par cette méthode, on conclut que, pour une intensité du champ d'environ 100 trolands scotopiques, la sensibilité des bâtonnets aux variations d'excitation commence à baisser rapidement et que, pour 2 000 à 5 000 trolands scotopiques (correspondant approximativement à des luminances de 120 à 300 cd/m2 en lumière du jour) les bâtonnets se saturent et ne peuvent plus répondre à une augmentation de l'excitation. Die Ergebnisse, die mit dieser Methode erhalten werden, lassen schliessen, dass bei Feldhelligkeiten von etwa 100 skotopischen Troland die Empfindlichkeit des Stäbchenapparates für die Reizunterschiede schnell nachlässt und dass bei 2000–5000 skotopischen Troland (näherungsweise bei einer Tageslicht-Leuchtdichte von 120–300 cd/m2) der Stäbchenapparat abgesättigt ist und auf eine weitere Steigerung des Reizes nicht anspricht.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
