Purkinje effect [pər′kin·jē i‚fekt] (physiology) When illumination is reduced to a low level, slowly enough to allow adaptation by the eye, the sensation produced by the longer-wave stimuli (red, orange) decreases more rapidly than that produced by shorter-wave stimuli (violet, blue). Also spelled Parkinje effect. How to thank TFD for its existence? Tell a friend about us, add a link to this page, add the site to iGoogle, or visit webmaster's page for free fun content. |
