The bisretinoids of retinal pigment epithelium [PDF]
Progress in Retinal and Eye Research, 2012 The retina exhibits an inherent autofluorescence that is imaged ophthalmoscopically as fundus autofluorescence. In clinical settings, fundus autofluorescence examination aids in the diagnosis and follow-up of many retinal disorders. Fundus autofluorescence originates from the complex mixture of bisretinoid fluorophores that are amassed by retinal ...

Schiff base deprotonation and structural changes in a mouse UV-sensitive cone visual pigment revealed by FTIR spectroscopy at 77 K [PDF]
Biophysics and PhysicobiologyUV-sensitive cone visual pigments are widespread among vertebrates, including birds, fish, and rodents such as mice, and play essential roles in non-primate vision.

Beyond SWS1 Cones: Canonical and Noncanonical Routes of Ultraviolet Sensitivity in the Avian Retina [PDF]
BirdsUltraviolet sensitivity in birds is generally attributed to short-wavelength-sensitive type 1 single cones, but ultraviolet radiation may influence the retina through several additional pathways.

Retinoids in the visual cycle: role of the retinal G protein-coupled receptor
Journal of Lipid Research, 2021 Driven by the energy of a photon, the visual pigments in rod and cone photoreceptor cells isomerize 11-cis-retinal to the all-trans configuration.

Familial grouped pigmentation of the retinal pigment epithelium. [PDF]
British Journal of Ophthalmology, 1988 Grouped pigmentation of the retinal pigment epithelium was found in a father and his son. They had a normal resting potential on the electro-oculogram, but the son had a lower normal light rise. We believe this is the first description of familial grouped pigmentation.
