Process by which the visual system can modulate its sensitivity and response to light stimuli (that might vary over more than 6 magnitudes in intensity) without response saturation. The series of events in which a visible light stimulus is received by a cell and converted into a molecular signal. A visible light stimulus is electromagnetic radiation that can be perceived visually by an organism; for organisms lacking a visual system, this can be defined as light with a wavelength within the range 380 to 780 nm. The sequence of reactions within a cell required to convert absorbed photons from visible light into a molecular signal. A visible light stimulus is electromagnetic radiation that can be perceived visually by an organism; for organisms lacking a visual system, this can be defined as light with a wavelength within the range 380 to 780 nm. The series of events involved in visual perception in which a sensory light stimulus is received by a cell and converted into a molecular signal. The process of restoring the photoreceptor cell to its unexcited state after termination of the stimulus (photon). The sequence of reactions within a cell required to convert absorbed photons into a molecular signal. The series of events required for an organism to receive a visual stimulus, convert it to a molecular signal, and recognize and characterize the signal. Visual stimuli are detected in the form of photons and are processed to form an image. The process by which the detection of light triggers the release of internally sequestered calcium ions. The series of events in which a sensory light stimulus is received by a cell and converted into a molecular signal. The series of molecular signals generated as a consequence of excitation of rhodopsin by a photon and the events then required to return the rhodopsin containing cell to the unexcited state.
