title: Analysis of discrimination threshold on the tritan axis.
abstract: Discrimination thresholds on the tritan axis were obtained for an extensive group of 66 stimuli: in some of the stimuli, S-cone trolands were held constant by keeping the product of the S-cone excitation level and the luminance unchanged, while in others only the luminance was changed to establish various S-cone troland values. These thresholds depended clearly on the S-cone value of the stimuli, while they remained almost constant against the retinal illumination. Thus, we noted that the excitation of the L - 2M channel had practically no influence over the discrimination threshold on the tritan axis, although this independence of delta S from L - 2M was not so obvious when the S value was high. With our data, we performed different fits, and found that the fit including the terms S, (L - 2M) and (L + M) adapted better to our results.
