Spectrophotometry for cerebrospinal fluid pigment analysis [PDF]
, 2006 The use of spectrophotometry for the analysis of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is reviewed. The clinically relevant CSF pigments--oxyhemoglobin and bilirubin--are introduced and discussed with regard to clinical differential diagnosis and potentially ...

Sex-related differences in chromatic sensitivity [PDF]
, 2008 Generally women are believed to be more discriminating than men in the use of colour names and this is often taken to imply superior colour vision. However, if both X-chromosome linked colour deficient males (~8%) and females (

Multiple Cone Visual Pigments and the Potential for Trichromatic Colour Vision in Two Species of Elasmobranch [PDF]
, 2004 Elasmobranchs (sharks, skates and rays) are the modern descendents of the first jawed vertebrates and, as apex predators, often occupy the highest trophic levels of aquatic (predominantly marine) ecosystems.

High-Level Inducible Expression of Visual Pigments in Transfected Cells
BioTechniques, 1996 A method for high-level expression of a functionally active, recombinant human red cone opsin was developed by adding the coding sequence for the C-terminal epitope of bovine rhodopsin onto the C terminus of the cone opsin and cloning the resulting ...

The retina visual cycle is driven by cis retinol oxidation in the outer segments of cones [PDF]
, 2017 Vertebrate rod and cone photoreceptors require continuous supply of chromophore for regenerating their visual pigments after photoactivation. Cones, which mediate our daytime vision, demand a particularly rapid supply of 11-cis retinal chromophore in ...

A literature review of analytical techniques for materials characterisation of painted textiles - Part 1: categorising painted textiles, sampling and the use of optical tools [PDF]
, 2017 Many types of painted textile are represented in museum collections. Their flexibility, draping qualities, and heterogeneous, layered nature make painted textiles complex objects to conserve. What do we know about their materials and making?

An autonomous biodegradable hygroscopic seed-inspired soft robot for visual humidity sensing
Materials & Design, 2023 Visual sensors for relative humidity (RH) are of interest for distributed and autonomous environmental monitoring. Most of the visual humidity sensors are based on colorimetric sensing through the employment of hygroscopic inorganic pigments or photonic ...

Opsin expression predicts male nuptial color in threespine stickleback. [PDF]
, 2018 Theoretical models of sexual selection suggest that male courtship signals can evolve through the build-up of genetic correlations between the male signal and female preference.

Evolution of vertebrate visual pigments [PDF]
Current Biology, 2006 Unlike most other mammals, primates are trichromatic with three cone pigments, an SWS1 pigment and two variants of the LWS pigments. In Old World primates, two different forms of the LWS gene are present, which have arisen by duplication of an ancestral gene (Figure 4Figure 4).
