Summary. Spectral sensitivities of the anterior lateral, posterior lateral and anterior median eyes of the jumping spider, Menemerus confusus Boes. et Str. have been studied by recording electroretinograms (ERGs) and receptor potentials. The anterior and posterior lateral eyes have a single type of visual cell with a maximum spectral sensitivity at about 535-540 nm. The anterior median eye has four types of visual cells with maximum sensitivities at about 360, 480-500, 520 540 and 580 nm, respectively. The ERGs recorded from the optic nerve side (posterior part of the retina) were affected greatly by long wave chromatic light and those on the corneal side (anterior part of the retina) by short wave chromatic light, suggesting that each receptor layer contains a different photopigment.

Abstract:We studied the wavelength dependency of phototactic behavior, the eye structure, and opsin genes of the brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens Stål Hemiptera: Delphacidae . The action spectrum showed that N. lugens was attracted to wide wavelength range of light; i.e. from 365 nm to 735 nm. The preference test between two wavelengths indicated that they were attracted to the wavelength in the following sequence; 365 nm 385 nm 470 nm 525 nm white LED 590 nm 660 nm 735 nm 850 nm. The spectral sensitivity of the eyes, determined by electroretinogram ERG , exhibited peaks at 520 nm and 360 nm, while the sensitivity was negligible at the wavelength longer than 660 nm. Three opsin genes were cloned; one long wavelength LW , and two UV-absorbing types UV1 and UV2 . In situ hybridization showed that LW opsin mRNA was widely expressed in the compound eyes and the ocelli. The UV1 opsin mRNA was expressed in the ventral periphery, while the mRNA of the UV2 opsin was expressed throughout the eye. Eight photoreceptor cells were observed to form a rhabdom in the compound eyes.

“…The visual system of the cockroach Periplaneta americana has been the subject of several studies detailing its anatomy (Wolken and Gupta 1961 ;Trujillo-Cen6z and Melamed 1971 ;Butler 1973a, b;Ribi 1977), electrophysiology (Walther 1958;Mote and Goldsmith 1970;Butler and Horridge 1973a, b;Mote and Rubin 1981 ;Edwards 1982a, b) and related behaviors Kelly and Mote 1990). The retina is composed of two receptor classes, one sensitive in the (UV) region of the spectrum and the other in the green (G).…”

1. Medulla interneurons of the optic lobe of P. americana were studied to determine their spectral properties. These neurons exhibited tonic firing which changed with monochromatic broadfield illumination of the ipsilateral eye. The response patterns of these neurons were analyzed by inferring their relation to the ultraviolet (UV) and green (G) photoreceptor groups of the eye. Their anatomy was described after injection of Lucifer yellow. 2. Broadband neurons received either excitatory or inhibitory input from both UV and G receptors. These neurons were not strictly sensitive to luminosity levels and had large cell bodies in the central rind of the medulla and wide dendritic arbors in the medulla neuropil. 3. Narrow band neurons received input from predominantly one receptor type. Their spectral sensitivity curves were more finely tuned than those of the primary receptors presumably due to neural interactions within the optic lobe. 4. Color opponent neurons were inhibited by UV and excited by G inputs in their sustained response. Under certain conditions, some of these neurons also showed G inhibition. These neurons suggested the presence of a subsystem involved in color vision. 5. Broadband, narrow band and color opponent properties were seen in some single neurons when tested over a 5-6 log unit range of intensity. The responses of some of these neurons changed when stimulus duration was increased. These findings indicated that functional classification for these neurons was dependent on stimulus intensity and duration. 6. Polarizational sensitivity was tested in preliminary experiments. Two neurons responded to the movement and direction of polarized light.
