Four spectral types of photoreceptors were characterized by double electrode recordings, with 1 electrode inside the cell and the other immediately outside. The color types are: UV peak sensitivity at 390 nm; blue 450 nm; green 540 nm; and red 610 nm. The hyperpolarizing afterpotential (HAP) is eliminated when a unit is stimulated at peak wavelength, and greatly reduced during off-peak stimulation, implying at least partial passive lateral electrical inhibition. The change from a point source stimulus to a diffuse extended source increases both the extracellular and the intracellular hyperpolarizations (at off-peak wavelengths), and reduces the intracellular depolarization; the transmembrane potential does not change. The existence of the secondary peak (UV) in green-peak cells and its changes in response to various stimuli are explained by a rhodopsin with a .beta.-peak and by interactions between the photoreceptors. Differential recording brings most of the spectral sensitivities to the curves predicted by the Dartnall nomograms. A model of electrical lateral inhibition is presented.
