Vertebrate Eye Melanosomes and Invertebrate Eye Ommochromes as Screening Cell Organelles

详细

The authors analyze their own and published data on the screening pigments of the eyes of vertebrates and invertebrates and the human eye, i.e., melanosomes and ommochromes. The structure, biochemistry, and functions of these pigments in the vision of vertebrates and invertebrates as light-filtering and light-absorbing organelles are discussed.
