Figure 3. Spectral coefficients (b-spectra) of time decaying exponentials fit to Siberian hamster UV cone pigment data.
The data in Figure 2 were fit to a function containing four exponential terms (with lifetimes indicated), whose coefficient b-spectra, b1(λ)...b4(λ), are plotted above, and a time-independent term, b0(λ), which is plotted at the bottom. Spacing between the curves is 0.004 absorbance units.
