Yes, it's me again. I think I've sorted the terminology out and sorry for making my education so public.
Trichromats have three kinds of cones (common as dirt) Dichromats have two kinds of cones (in the minority) Cone monochromats have one kind of cone (rare) Rod monochromats have zero kinds of cone (they should really be called nonechromats) (rare) Everybody has rods. This classification is based on changes in the kind of cones. I'd guess that no one knows if there are any changes in the overall number of cones and rods in these disorders. But I'll be happy to be corrected. Now, which one does Beth's student have? -Stephen ______________________________________________________________ Stephen L.
