Abstract
Perhaps my best service to the present audience and subsequent readers will be a survey of some of the studies of receptor optics going on in Neurobiology in Canberra at the present time, apart from those covered by other authors in this symposium. All are unpublished and some are not yet in press. Together they give a view of the historical position now in one laboratory.
