PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY OF PHOTORECEPTION

视网膜视杆外节在光传导过程中的钙代谢 是通过将荧光染料引入视网膜进行研究的 通过新的方法和定量显微图像系统进行研究。 量热、X射线微量分析和光度学方法正在被用于 研究光转导过程中的离子和生化事件。 突破血脑屏障引入极点的新技术 进入大脑和视网膜组织的分子正在研究中。

Calcium metabolism in retinal rod outer segments during phototransduction is being studied with the aid of fluorochromic dyes introduced into retinas by new methods and studied by quantitative microscopic image systems. Calorimetric, X-ray microanalytic and photometric methods are being used to study ionic and biochemical events during phototransduction. New techniques for breaching the blood-brain barrier to introduce polar molecules into brain and retinal tissue are under study.
