Issue Date: | 1992 | Journal: | Biological Cybernetics | Abstract: | The proposal that rod outer segment length is optimal with respect to photon absorption and noise control is extended and tested in a number of species. We find good agreement with our optimality criterion in duplex retinae where rods act as detectors of one or a few photons, but not in all rod retinae nor in those which are exposed to significant photic environmental noise. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/73197 | ISSN: | 0340-1200 | DOI: | 10.1007/BF00203666 | Source: | Biological Cybernetics [ISSN 0340-1200], v. 66 (4), p. 301-306, (Febrero 1992) |
