加尔斯(Lepisosteus)的眼睛具有黄色的透明绒毡层,位于色素上皮的突起中。一个黄色的反射色素参与,封闭在绒毡层球,每个直径约240纳米。 视网膜运动发生:在黑暗中(或昏暗的光线下),黑色视网膜色素缩回,暴露出绒毡层,杆缩短;在光线下,色素向内迁移,使绒毡层模糊,杆伸长。绒毡层色素溶于水、稀酸和碱,不溶于有机溶剂;重金属使其不溶于水;它用用于使酚类化合物(铁氰化物;硝酸氨银)显色的试剂染色。描述了提取色素的方法,并示出了紫外/可见光谱。折射率高(n23 1.59),与绒毡层球的大小和排列相结合,有利于后向散射。色素上皮细胞的第二个值得注意的特征是...
Eyes of gars (Lepisosteus) possess a yellow tapetum lucidum which is located in processes of the pigment epithelium. A yellow reflecting pigment is involved, enclosed in tapetal spheres each about 240 nm in diameter. Retinomotor movements take place: in darkness (or dim light) the black retinal pigment retracts, exposing the tapetum, and the rods shorten; in the light the pigment migrates inwards, obscuring the tapetum, and the rods elongate. The tapetal pigment is soluble in water, dilute acid, and alkali, and insoluble in organic solvents; it is rendered insoluble (to water) by heavy metals; and it stains with reagents used to visualize phenolic compounds (ferric–ferricyanide; ammoniacal silver nitrate). A method of extracting the pigment is described, and the ultraviolet/visible spectrum shown. The refractive index is high (n23 1.59) and that, in conjunction with the size and arrangement of the tapetal spheres, is conducive to backscatter. A second noteworthy feature of the pigment epithelial cells is ...
