• Dark regeneration of rhodopsin in crayfish photoreceptors 

  Cronin, Thomas W.; Goldsmith, Timothy H . (The Rockefeller University Press, 1984-07-01)

  The eyes of crayfish were exposed to lights of known spectral composition, and the course of regeneration was followed in the dark by measuring the content of rhodopsin and metarhodopsin in single rhabdoms isolated at ...

• Control of diel vertical migration: Photoresponses of a larval crustacean 

  Forward, Richard B. Jr.; Cronin, Thomas W.; Stearns, Donald E. (American Society of Limnology and Oceanography, Inc, 1984-01)

  The lower threshold for phototaxis of dark‐adapted larvae of the crab Rhithropanopeus harrisii is 10⁻⁷ W·m⁻² at 500‐nm light. This threshold does not change throughout development. In the Newport River estuary (North ...

• Photosensitivity spectrum of crayfish rhodopsin measured using fluorescence of metarhodopsin 

  Cronin, T. W.; Goldsmith, T. H. (Rockefeller University Press, 1982-02-01)

  Cronin, T.W.; Goldsmith, T.H. (Elsevier Inc., 1981-09)

  Isolated photoreceptor organelles (rhabdoms) from eyes of crayfish (Procambarus. Orconectes) were examined on a microscope system designed for quantitative measurements of fluorescent. Although fully dark-adapted rhabdoms ...

• Visual Rhythms in Stomatopod Crustaceans Observed in the Pseudopupil 

  Cronin, Thomas W. (1992-04)

  Many aspects of visual function in animals are influenced by the operation of endogenous rhythms. Using techniques of intracellular optical physiology, I investigated visual rhythms in two species of stomatopod crustaceans ...
