| Method |
Recording membrane current from single outer segments projecting from small pieces of retina. |
| Comments |
The calculated and experimental histograms are in satisfactory agreement,
supporting the idea that the response to dim flashes consisted of a Poisson-distributed
number of unit responses each around 0.7 pA in amplitude. |
