eye responses to determine the smallest stimulus that elicits a tracking eye movement. Acuity is also often determined by theoretical calculations based on cone or RGC density (Table 2.16).
Figure 2.19 A colorful dog, as seen by a normal trichromat (a). In (b), the color information from the photograph has been extracted. The photograph has been filtered to mimic how a protanope (c), a deuteranope (d), a tritanope (e), and a cone monochromat (f) would perceive the same scene. The protanope and deuteranope can distinguish between short and long wavelengths, whereas the tritanope can subdivide the middle‐to‐long wavelengths into different hues.
