Abstract
The early receptor potential (ERP) of the isolated frog retina is generated primarily by a cone pigment that absorbs maximally at ca. 570–580 nm. Irradiation of the retina with red light, which selectively bleaches this cone pigment, indicates that, in addition to the 580 nm pigment, the ERP of the isolated frog retina is generated by a pigment or pigments absorbing at shorter wavelengths. Bleaching most of the rod pigment rhodopsin causes appreciable changes in the response waveform and slope of the amplitude vs. intensity function but causes only small changes in the ERP action spectrum.
