Abstract
The photoreceptors are the first neural elements in the visual system, and an appreciation of their response characteristics can greatly assist our understanding of higher order neural processes. The extent to which photoreceptor activity can be monitored in primates by means of a nearly normal preparation will directly effect our ability to attain this goal It was in pursuit of such a preparation that this study was undertaken.
