Smith & Pokorny (1975) protan and deutan data

Data key

Columns

1. Wavelength (nm)
2. log Protan spectral sensitivity
3. log Deutan spectral sensitivity

Notes

Mean data from 5 protanopes and 4 deuteranopes taken directly from Fig 3 of Smith & Pokorny (1975) and converted to quantal units.

They are flicker detection thresholds for 25-Hz, 2-deg diameter targets of variable wavelength presented in the center of a violet background field. For details see Smith & Pokorny (1975).
