| Abstrakt: | The relation between intensity of illumination of single photoreceptors and position of the screening pigment was studied in the compound eye of the moth Deilephila elpenor. The amplitude of the response to test flashes of white light was measured in 7 dark adapted photoreceptor cells with the screening pigment in the extreme distal and in a proximal position. The experiments demonstrate that the response amplitude of individual photoreceptors varies with the pigment position. The associated variation in screening effect was 1.0 to 1.9 log units.
