Photopic electroretinogram B-wave implicit time in monkey eye.
Photopic electroretinograms were elicited in anesthetized monkey eyes with stimulus light of various intensities under background light of different luminances. The b-wave implicit time was prolonged with increasing stimulus light intensity and shortened with brighter background luminance. While the change of anesthetic conditions produced by the addition of halothane (0.5% or 1.0%) mildly prolonged the implicit time, it affected neither the waveforms nor the relationship between the b-wave implicit time and background luminance.
