We present a new digital feedback application for the study of the sensitivity characteristics of photoreceptors. The amplitude of the recorded membrane voltage of a cell is steered by changing the incoming light intensity with a motor-driven circular, linear neutral-density wedge (CFW). The voltage response is sampled and fed to a software position controller of the CFW. The controller determines the position of the wedge according to the desired (command) value of the response. The light intensity changes during steady-state represent the sensitivity change, the time-course of adaptation.
我们提出了一种用于研究光感受器敏感性特征的新型数字反馈应用。通过使用电机驱动的圆形线性中性密度楔形物(CFW)改变入射光强度,来控制细胞记录膜电压的幅度。对电压响应进行采样,并将其馈送到CFW的软件位置控制器。控制器根据响应的期望(命令)值确定楔形物的位置。稳态期间的光强度变化代表敏感性变化,即适应的时间过程。
