However, rods do respond to dim light and mediate lower-resolution, monochromatic vision under very low levels of illumination ( called scotopic vision ).

Mice were shown to express significantly reduced scotopic vision, and further research has shown the dysregulation of calcium homeostasis may have a significant role in rod photoreceptor degradation and death.
13.
"' Photopic vision "'is the color perception, mediated by cone cells, and a significantly higher visual acuity and temporal resolution than available with scotopic vision.
14.
Another reason that vision is poor under scotopic vision is that rods, which are the only cells active under scotopic vision, converge to a smaller number of neurons in the retina.

16.
In the human eye cone cells are nonfunctional in low light scotopic vision is produced exclusively through rod cells which are most sensitive to wavelengths of light around 498 nm ( green-blue ) and are insensitive to wavelengths longer than about 640 nm ( red ).
17.
The human eye uses scotopic vision under low-light conditions ( luminance level 10 " 6 to 10 " 3.5 cd / m?), and mesopic vision in intermediate conditions ( luminance level 10 " 3 to 10 0.5 cd / m?).
18.
I think it's important that the light be really dim in a totally dark area because you need for your eyes to be using scotopic vision where all of the color is washed out and things have a blue-ish tint . talk ) 02 : 21, 14 April 2009 ( UTC)
