Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of human vision, particularly the role of pigments in perceiving color and light. While the discovery of rhodopsin had established that retinal pigments are essential for vision, the author presents compelling evidence of additional pigments that contribute to our ability to see. Through innovative retinal densitometry techniques developed by the author, the presence of multiple pigments in the human eye is revealed, each with distinct spectral sensitivities. The author's findings challenge traditional theories of color vision and expand our understanding of how we perceive and interpret the visual world around us.
