van Norren & Vos lens density spectrum (1974)

Data key

Columns
  1. Wavelength (nm)
  2. Lens density

Notes

    Proposed adjustment to the Wyszecki & Stiles' (1967) lens density template. The adjustment was based on the correction needed to transform (1949) Crawford's mean rod spectral sensitivity curve to the rod (rhodopsin) photopigment curve.

The data from 380-440 nm are from van Norren & Vos (1974), Table 2
The data from 440-710 nm are from Wyszecki & Stiles(1982), Table 1(2.4.6)

Values for open pupil. x1.16 for small pupil.
