Spectrophotometric and microspectrophotometric measures of relative spectral transmission were obtained from the cornea, lens, and vitreous body and from the whole eye of young and adult pigeons. Transmission was above 90% throughout the visible spectrum and was maintained at or above 50% into the near-UV at 310 nm. No age-related changes in transmission were found. The results concur with the pigeon's behavioral UV-detection abilities.
通过分光光度法和显微分光光度法测量了幼年和成年鸽子的角膜、晶状体、玻璃体以及全眼的相对光谱透射率。在整个可见光谱范围内,透射率均高于90%,在310nm的近紫外区域,透射率保持在50%或以上。未发现透射率与年龄相关的变化。这些结果与鸽子的行为紫外线探测能力相符。
