Photoreceptor in a sentence

The team sought to confirm this by removing an essential gene within the photoreceptor cells called opsin.

My layperson’s explanation: The tapetum offers a second look, bouncing incoming information back like a mirror, another chance for light to be absorbed if the eye’s photoreceptor layer didn’t fully take it in at first.

A third photoreceptor plays roles that are not directly associated with vision.

In a preliminary test, the Vierstra group was able to see the first twitch of the photoreceptor as the part of its chromophore that captures the light energy rotated upon photoactivation.

Secondly, I will present our recent development of an ocular injectable photoreceptor-binding upconversion nanoparticles that can create the mammalian infrared imaging vision in their naked eyes.

Coleoid cephalopods (octopus, squid, cuttlefish) have a single photoreceptor type and lack the ability to determine color by comparing detected photon intensity across multiple spectral channels.

However, laser printing differs from analog photocopiers in that the image is produced by the direct scanning of the medium across the printer's photoreceptor.

Indeed, a unique network of blood vessels is well adapted to provide the photoreceptor layer with copious quantities of blood.

One such suggestion is based on the argument that the mammalian photoreceptor amplification process requires vast quantities of metabolic energy, and consequently, it requires massive and homogeneous supply of blood.

Some have refracting superposition compound eyes: these combine the output of many elements of their compound eyes to provide enough light for each retinal photoreceptor.

The centre photoreceptor is multiplied by the +1 weight factor.

The remaining seven species had in addition to rods a single type of cone photoreceptor sensitive to green and, seeing only in shades of grey and green, are believed to be effectively colorblind.

This molecule is then transported into the photoreceptor cells of the retina, where it acts as a light-activated molecular switch within opsin proteins that activates a complex cascade called the visual cycle.

This permits the use of a very small and compact unit, where the photoreceptor is charged, rotates a few degrees and is scanned, rotates a few more degrees and is developed, and so forth.

This summation is repeated for every photoreceptor in the image by shifting left to the end of a row and then down to the next line.

Transferring A sheet of paper is then rolled under the photoreceptor drum, which has been coated with a pattern of toner particles in the exact places where the laser struck it moments before.
