Scotopic vision Scotopic vision Scotopic vision is the vision of the eye under low-light levels. The term comes from Greek "skotos", meaning "darkness", and "-opia", meaning "a condition of sight". In the human eye, cone cells are nonfunctional in low visible light. Scotopic vision is produced exclusively through rod cells, which are most sensitive to wavelengths of around 498 nm (green–blue) and are insensitive to wavelengths longer than about 640 nm (red). This condition is called the Purkinje effect. Scotopic vision is dominated by retina amacrine cells, specifically AII-amacrine cells. AII-amacrine cells capture rod bipolar cell input and redistribute it to cone
Helmethead gecko are flattened and spatulate. Helmethead geckos can be anywhere from light grey to dark brown, either uniform in color or with pale or dark blotches. The underside of the gecko is light-colored. This gecko is mainly nocturnal, and whereas most lizards are diurnal and have lost the rod structures in the retina that is typical of vertebrates, retaining only cones, this gecko has further adapted its eyes so that it has some degree of color vision at night. The gecko has developed a multifocal optical system which enables it to distinguish between light at different wavelengths. The pupils of this
