Domain-specific¶
- Purkinje Effect
- The practical consequence exploited in lighting design is that long-wavelength (red) illumination leaves scotopic (rod) sensitivity largely intact while still being detectable by the photopic (cone) system at brighter levels, which is why observatory red lighting and aircraft cockpit red lighting preserve dark-adapted night vision.
This sourceThat long-wavelength red illumination leaves rod (scotopic) sensitivity largely intact while remaining visible to the cone system.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This work's DOI is recorded above but has not been resolved against an external catalogue, so nothing here confirms the work exists.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
