  2. Entoptic phenomenon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entoptic_phenomenon

    Haidinger's brush is a very subtle bowtie or hourglass shaped pattern that is seen when viewing a field with a component of blue light that is plane or circularly polarized. It's easier to see if the polarisation is rotating with respect to the observer's eye, although some observers can see it in the natural polarisation of sky light. [1]

  3. Scintillating scotoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scintillating_scotoma

    Many variations occur, but scintillating scotoma usually begins as a spot of flickering light near or in the center of the visual field, which prevents vision within the scotoma area. It typically affects both eyes, as it is not a problem specific to one eye. [5] [6] The affected area flickers but is not dark. It then gradually expands outward ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabbage

    The cabbage inflorescence, which appears in the plant's second year of growth, features white or yellow flowers, each with four perpendicularly arranged petals. Cabbage seedlings have a thin taproot and cordate (heart-shaped) cotyledons. The first leaves produced are ovate (egg-shaped) with a lobed petiole.

  5. BBCH-scale (leafy vegetables forming heads) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBCH-scale_(leafy...

    In biology, the BBCH-scale for leafy vegetables forming heads describes the phenological development of leafy vegetables forming heads, such as cabbage, chinese cabbage, lettuce and endive, using the BBCH-scale. The phenological growth stages and BBCH-identification keys of leafy vegetables forming heads are:

  6. Visual pathway lesions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_pathway_lesions

    Visual field-tubular vision Visual field-central scotoma. Lesions involving the whole optic nerve cause complete blindness on the affected side, that means damage at the right optic nerve causes complete loss of vision in the right eye. [3] Optic neuritis involving external fibers of the optic nerve causes tunnel vision. [4]

  7. UV coloration in flowers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UV_coloration_in_flowers

    A common phenotype of UV coloration is the “bulls-eyepattern where a flower reflects UV light at the ends of the petals and absorbs UV light in the center. [4] This acts as a guide for pollinators to locate and find pollen. [4] Other flowers add the contrast between their reproductive parts (anthers and pistils) and their petals. [7]

  9. Haidinger's brush - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haidinger's_brush

    Haidinger's brush, more commonly known as Haidinger's brushes is an image produced by the eye, an entoptic phenomenon, first described by Austrian physicist Wilhelm Karl von Haidinger in 1844. Haidinger saw it when he looked through various minerals that polarized light. [1] [2] Many people are able to perceive polarization of light. [3]
