The diameter of the pupils was measured in the bodies of rabbits under different ambient temperatures (2-4 degrees C, 10-12 degrees C, 18-20 degrees C, 28-30 degrees C). It was found that the pupils changed in three phases: Initial miosis, which set in within minutes after death, was followed by a mydriatic phase, which lasted several hours and was approximately synchronous with the post-mortem rigidity of the skeletal muscles. In the third phase the pupils slowly contracted in the course of several days. The higher the ambient temperature, the more marked was the dilatation of the pupils in the second phase. In contrast to this the reaction of the pupils was characterized by less pronounced changes in size and a longer duration of secondary mydriasis, when temperatures were low.
在不同环境温度（2 - 4摄氏度、10 - 12摄氏度、18 - 20摄氏度、28 - 30摄氏度）下，测量了兔尸体的瞳孔直径。发现瞳孔变化分为三个阶段：最初是死后几分钟内出现的瞳孔缩小，随后是持续数小时的散瞳阶段，该阶段与骨骼肌的尸僵大致同步。在第三阶段，瞳孔在数天内缓慢收缩。环境温度越高，第二阶段瞳孔的扩张越明显。与此相反，当温度较低时，瞳孔的反应表现为大小变化不那么明显，继发性散瞳持续时间更长。
