Abstract
Pupillary images recorded by a linear knife-edge photoscreener for infants accommodating more or less within the bounds of chromatic aberration show three smooth offset pupillary irradiance ramps when analyzed with a color video camera and frame-grabbing hardware. Both the shape of the ramps and the lack of a second image in a shadowing experiment support the view that the retina acts as an angularly diffuse partial reflector in photorefraction. We propose a lateral image-spreading characteristic to account for observed color-dependent ramp heights and offsets and consider possible physical mechanisms for lateral spreading.
