Abstract

Both slices of squid (Loligo) retinas and Limulus ventral photoreceptors, with or without prior stimulation by flashes of bright light, were rapidly frozen and analysed for cyclic-GMP content by radioimmunoassay. Measurement of the freezing process indicated that freezing occurred at about 100 msec after the light flash. No significant changes in cyclic-GMP content were induced by light in either tissue. These data do not confirm previous reports that cyclic-GMP content of invertebrate photoreceptors is markedly increased by illumination.
