Abstract
The early receptor potential produced by light absorbed by rhodopsin has two components. Of these R1, which develops most rapidly, is generated by chemical reactions involving prelumirhodopsin. R2, a later component, the waveform of which is calculated in the following article, is not directly generated by rhodopsin, and possibly develops in the surface membrane of the outer limb, as in invertebrates.
