Notes

Mean data from Table 2 of Baylor, Nunn & Schnapf (1984). n, the number of records averaged together, varies from 5 to 10 depending on wavelength.

Cynomolgus monkey (Macaca Fascicularis).

Suction electrode (current) recordings made with a light beam passing transversely through rod outer segments.

The λ_max value is ~491 nm.
