During his researches on colour-vision Goethe has examined two colour blind students. The reports and the colour tests made by Goethe himself are mostly preserved. Due to the colour confusions in the whole purple zone Goethe decided that the subjects were blue blind. During the 19th century-- however--the supposition arose that it must have been a red-green-blindness. It was Trendelenburg, who supposed a deuteranopia. On the other hand reconstructions of Goethe's examinations had the result that it was in all probability a protanopia. A final solution of this discussion is now possible after a great-grandson of Goethe's subject Gildemeister was found out and examined at Nagel's anomaloscope. He is a typical protanope. According to the pedigree demonstrating the typical x-linked hereditary transmission, we can be sure that Goethe's subjects were protanopes.
在对色觉的研究中，歌德检查了两名色盲学生。歌德本人所做的报告和色觉测试大多得以保存。由于整个紫色区域存在颜色混淆，歌德判定这两名受试者是蓝色盲。然而，在19世纪，有人提出猜测，认为这很可能是红绿色盲。特伦德伦堡推测这是一种绿色盲。另一方面，对歌德检查结果的重新分析表明，很可能是红色盲。在找到歌德的受试者吉尔德迈斯特的曾孙并在纳格尔色盲检查镜下对其进行检查之后，现在这场争论终于有了定论。他是典型的红色盲患者。根据显示典型的X连锁遗传传递的谱系图，我们可以确定歌德的受试者是红色盲患者。
