Abstract
The pigment, which appears black on visual inspection, is neutral over the visible and near ultraviolet regions of the spectrum. The neutrality of the screening pigment makes it unlikely that it is a source of the artifact in the measurement of receptor action spectra. It is closely correlated with the early receptor potential which is presumed to arise from the dark screening pigments common to most eyes.
