Synopsis
The influence of light on the lives of living organisms is all-pervasive, affecting movement, vision, behaviour, and physiological activity.This book is a biophysically grounded comparative survey of how animals detect light and image in their world. Included are discussions of photoreceptors, light emitters, and eyes. The book's focus is on the kinds of optical systems that have evolved, beginning with unicellular organisms that detect and respond to light. The relevance of these studies extends beyond biology, since these findings can be used to help develop photoreceptor energy conversion and information systems, and optical imaging devices with a wide range of everyday applications. The book will appeal to biophysicists, photobiologists, bioengineers, neuroscientists, and all researchers working in the area of vision and visual optics., This book is a biophysically grounded comparative survey of how animals detect light and image in their world.

This book is a biophysically grounded comparative survey of how animals detect light and perceive their surroundings. Included are discussions of photoreceptors, light emitters, and eyes. The book focuses in particular on the kinds of optical systems that have evolved, beginning with unicellular organisms that detect and respond to light through to more advanced and complex designs for imaging. The relevance of these studies extends beyond biology, since these findings can be used to help develop photoreceptor energy conversion and information systems, and optical imaging devices with a wide range of everyday applications.

    The quality of the books description was very accurate. The purchase price of the book was very reasonable and the shipping costs were normal for standard international shipping rates to Australia from the USA. The packaging was excellent to ensure no damage to the books during its international journey. Good communication with the seller ensured all my questions were answered in a timely manner.

    An outstanding transaction in every manner! The condition was better than described, the value was great, the shipping was quick and well packaged! Packaging was way better than Amazon. I am going to terminate my book purchases as they arrive with covers bent and bent and bumped corners. They look like seconds!,
