Id (pA) tp (ms) τD (ms) I1/2 (photons μm−2 s−1)
S-cone (n=21) 6±1 73±5 73±10 (1.8±0.6)×105
M-cone (n=8) 8±2 63±5 68±18 (2.5±0.9)×105

Id Dark current, tp the time to peak of the dim-flash response, τD the dominant recovery time constant, I1/2 flash strength that elicited a half-maximal response, uncorrected for pigment bleaching for cones.
