  2. Mesopic vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopic_vision

    Mesopic vision, sometimes also called twilight vision, is a combination of photopic and scotopic vision under low-light (but not necessarily dark) conditions. [1] Mesopic levels range approximately from 0.01 to 3.0 cd/m 2 in luminance. Most nighttime outdoor and street lighting conditions are in the mesopic range. [2]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purkinje_effect

    An animated sequence of simulated appearances of a red flower (of a zonal geranium) and background foliage under photopic, mesopic, and scotopic conditions. The Purkinje effect or Purkinje phenomenon (Czech: [ˈpurkɪɲɛ] ⓘ; sometimes called the Purkinje shift, often pronounced / p ər ˈ k ɪ n dʒ i /) [1] is the tendency for the peak luminance sensitivity of the eye to shift toward the ...

  4. Scotopic vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotopic_vision

    Mesopic vision occurs in intermediate lighting conditions (luminance level 10 −3 to 10 0.5 cd/m 2) [citation needed] and is effectively a combination of scotopic and photopic vision. This gives inaccurate visual acuity and color discrimination. In normal light (luminance level 10 to 10 8 cd/m 2), the vision of cone cells dominates and is ...

  5. Luminous efficiency function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_efficiency_function

    Luminosity for mesopic vision, a wide transitioning band between scotopic and phototic vision, is more poorly standardized. The consensus is that this luminous efficiency can be written as a weighted average of scotopic and mesopic luminosities, but different organizations provide different weighting factors.

  9. Photopic vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photopic_vision

    Photopic vision is the vision of the eye under well-lit conditions (luminance levels from 10 to 10 8 cd/m 2). In humans and many other animals, photopic vision allows color perception, mediated by cone cells, and a significantly higher visual acuity and temporal resolution than available with scotopic vision.
