Sensory mechanisms of the retina: with an appendix on electroretinography.

London: Geoffrey Cumberlege, 1947.

An account of twenty years’ work on the electrical responses of the retina, a discussion of visual purple and visual violet, and an exposition of Granit’s hypothesis of colour vision. His researches have done much to elucidate the mechanism of visual processes. In 1967 he shared the Nobel Prize with Hartline (No. 1532) and G. Wald.
