STABELL, B. & STABELL, U. Chromatic rod vision. I. Wavelength of test‐stimulation varied. Scand. J. Psychol. , 1971, 12, 175–178.–The ability to distinguish one type of radiation from another by its hue disappears in scotopic vision. Accordingly, scotopic hues are found to be invariant of variation of wavelength. It is concluded, on the basis of the Principle of Univariance, that hues may be triggered by light signals initiated in one type of receptor.
