Abstract
Responses of individual goldfish cones to spectral lights were monitored using reduction of Nitro-blue tetrazolium chloride as an indicator of response magnitude. Red sensitive cones (long double, some long single and miniature long single cones), green sensitive cones (short double and some long single cones) and blue sensitive cones (short single and miniature short single cones) were identified in flat mounts of whole retinae. Cone patterning, densities and dimensions were examined in whole mounts and thin sections. The total chromatic composition of the retina was found to be 45% red cones, 35% green cones and 20% blue cones.
