Abstract
AbstractBoëthius, J., S. D. Carlson, G. Hoglundand G. Struwe. Light sensitivity of the compound eye of a moth (Manduca sexta) reared on a retinol deficient diet. Acta physiol. scand. 1972. 84. 289–294.The photoreceptor response was recorded in the compound eye of a moth (Manduca sexta) reared on a retinol (vitamin‐'A) deficient diet. The configuration, amplitude and spectral sensitivity of the receptor potential was similar to that found for normal eyes. The retinol deficient eyes are structurally deranged. The present results therefore indicate that structurally deranged photoreceptors response generate normal receptor potentials.
