Color receptor identities of goldfish cones

RE Marc and HG Sperling

Goldfish retinas were exposed to spectral lights, then incubated with nitroblue tetrazolium chloride. Diformazan deposits revealed that five morphologically distinct cone types were segregated into three color classes: red long double and long single cones, green short double and long single cones, and blue short single and miniature short single cones.
