Timing of Ca2+ Release from Intracellular Stores and the Electrical Response of Limulus Ventral Photoreceptors to Dim Flashes

Light-induced release of Ca2+ from stores in Limulus ventral photoreceptors was studied using confocal fluorescence microscopy and the Ca2+ indicator dyes, Oregon green-5N and fluo-4. Fluorescence was collected from a spot within 4 μm of the microvillar membrane. A dual-flash protocol was used to re...
