“…Perhaps it contains less carotenoid. In addition, there is a difference in the tapetum that is responsible for the eye glow of the dark-adapted eye (Banister and White, 1987). The tapetum is provided by tracheoles that branch into the retina from a single tracheal cell that underlies each retinular unit.…”

“…varied little across the cornea. Screening pigment is restricted to the primary pigment cells enclosing the crystalline cones, the distal ends of the secondary pigment in the clear zone and the small proximal ends of the secondary pigment cells at the basement membrane (Banister and White, 1987). Receptor cells contain no ommochrome granules.…”

“…The results point to a mechanism slightly different to that of the pupil in superposition eyes, where it is not clear if light adaptation requires oxygen (Frixione et al 1979;Banister and White 1987;Weyrauther 1988; see review by Stavenga 1989). Differences between apposition and superposition eyes should not be surprising, since these two pupil mechanisms occur in different cell types, in different directions and at very different speeds (Horridge and Giddings 1971;Welsch 1977;Meinecke 1981).…”

“…Since the screening pigment has to move a considerable distance these migrations take longer time (3-30 min) than those in apposition eyes (Horridge and Giddings 1971;Welsch 1977;Meinecke 1981). There are several reports about the energy dependency of the pupil mechanism in superposition eyes (Frixione et al 1979;Banister and White 1987;Weyrauther 1988). The results indicate that dark-adaptation and maintenance of the dark-adapted state requires energy.…”

“…However, DMSO applied to the cornea affected the underlying secondary pigment cells. Their pigment granules normally aggregate just beneath the cornea in the darkadapted state (Banister & White, 1987). DMSO caused the pigment to disperse irregularly in the pigment cells.…”
