But the theory, according to Yau, was based mainly on the pigment rhodopsin.

- Visual purple: a red photopigment in the retinal rods of vertebrates; dissociates into retinene by light
- Rhodopsin, also known as visual purple, is a pigment of the retina that is responsible for both the formation of the photoreceptor cells and the first events in the perception of light. ...
- A protein found in the retina of the eye. It contains opsin and retinal, a form of vitamin A. It is also known as visual purple.
- A visual pigment consisting of retinal and opsin. When rhodopsin absorbs light, the retinal changes shape and dissociates from the opsin, after which it is converted back to its original form.
- Also called visual purple, a light-sensitive pigment in the rods. It bleaches in light and regenerates in the dark using vitamin A compounds.
- A pigment in rod cells that undergoes a photochemical dissociation in response to light and in so doing stimulates electrical activity in the photoreceptors.
- Light sensitive pigment found in photoreceptors allowing for the perception of night vision. After exposure to white light, it usually takes 30mins to fully recover.
- The rod photopigment.
- A photosensitive purple-red chromoprotein in the retinal rods that enhances night vision; commonly referred to as visual purple.
