An Ishihara test image as seen by subjects with normal color vision and by those with a variety of color deficiencies. A pseudoisochromatic plate (from Greek pseudo, meaning "false", iso, meaning "same" and chromo, meaning "color"), often abbreviated as PIP, is a style of standard exemplified by the Ishihara test, generally used for screening of color vision defects.
Tetrachromacy is demonstrated among several species of birds, [2] fishes, [3] and reptiles. [3] The common ancestor of all vertebrates was a tetrachromat, but a common ancestor of mammals lost two of its four kinds of cone cell, evolving dichromacy, a loss ascribed to the conjectured nocturnal bottleneck. Some primates then later evolved a ...
An Ishihara test image as seen by subjects with normal color vision and by those with a variety of color deficiencies. The diagnosis of congenital red–green color blindness is usually inferred through psychophysical testing. These color vision tests test detect the color vision phenotype, and not the subject genotype, so are unable to ...
The Ishihara test is a color vision test for detection of red–green color deficiencies. It was named after its designer, Shinobu Ishihara, a professor at the University of Tokyo, who first published his tests in 1917. [2] The test consists of a number of Ishihara plates, which are a type of pseudoisochromatic plate.
I know i am oversimplifying the issue, but it seems pretty straightforward. Straha 206th 22:44, 28 June 2007 (UTC) Creating such a test would certainly be handy to help us find an actual tetrachromat. There is a problem in that we would need to know where their area of extra sensitivity is in order to print up the test.

A remote vertebrate ancestor of primates possessed tetrachromacy, [1] but nocturnal, warm-blooded, mammalian ancestors lost two of four cones in the retina at the time of dinosaurs. Most teleost fish , reptiles and birds are therefore tetrachromatic while most mammals are strictly dichromats , the exceptions being some primates and marsupials ...
Electroretinograms demonstrated that the cones were expressing the new opsin and after 20 weeks a pseudoisochromatic color vision test demonstrated that the treated monkeys had indeed developed functional trichromatic vision. [6] Gene therapy was to restore some of the sight of mice with achromatopsia. The results were positive for 80% of the ...
