It is a well known fact that the metarhodopsins of cephalopods are thermostable and photoreconvertible into rhodopsin (Fig. 1). In the octopus species Eledone moschata the wavelength maxima of the rhodopsin (R) and acid metarhodopsin (M) are separated by about 50 nm. Due to the large distance between the wavelength maxima, this R-M-system is well suited for photokinetic studies (1–3). Monochromatic illumination causes a photoequilibrium between R (11-cis R., isoR) and its acid M. The equilibrium is determined solely by the ratio betweeen the absorption coefficients of the two pigments. Illumination at the isosbestic point yields 50% R and 50% M. Minimal R-concentration (38%) is obtained at 440 nm. At longer wavelength the M is quantitatively reconverted to R.
