[Photobleaching quantum yields of visual pigments in the "fauve de Bourgogne" and "albino" rabbit (author's transl)].
Photobleaching quantum yields of visual pigments extracted from retinas of the "fauve de bourgogne" and "albino" rabbit were measured in monochromatic light. For the "fauve de Bourgogne" rabbit, the photobleaching quantum yield was to be 0.65 at different excitation wavelengths (546, 491.6 and 436 nm); at shorter wavelengths, this quantum yield was lower ie. 0.36 at 405 nm. This wavelength effect has been observed on visual pigments extracted from bees retina. In contrast, in the "albino" rabbit, the photobleaching quantum yield was constant and equal to 0.31 whatever the excitation wavelength between 546 and 405 mn.
