Duplicity theory of vision : from Newton to the present /

Mostrar otras versiones (1)

The duplicity theory of vision concerns the comparisons (both differences and similarities) and interaction between the cone and rod systems in the visual pathways, with the assumption that the cone system is active during daylight vision and the rod system functions in low light (night time).
