Microspectrophotometric study of visual pigments in five species of geckos.

Abstract

Photoreceptors and visual pigments were studied by light microscopy and microspectrophotometry in geckos Teratoscincus scincus, Gymnodactylus russovi, G. caspius, G. fedchenkovi and G. kotschui. Type A single, type B double and the thicker members of type C double cells were found to contain a green-sensitive visual pigment with the maximum absorption at 534-537 nm. Blue-absorbing pigment (lambda m = 446-460 nm) was only found in the thinner members of type C doubles.
