The Electrodynamic Basis of Dichroism-Mediated Polarization Perception
Gary P. Misson, Dusan Sarenac, Dmitry. A. Pushin +1
Humans see the polarization of light through entoptic percepts arising from the macula's Henle fiber layer, where xanthophyll pigments absorb preferentially across the radiating fi…

A unified dielectric-tensor model of macular form birefringence and dichroism
Gary P. Misson, Dusan Sarenac, Dmitry. A. Pushin +1
Optical anisotropy of the Henle fiber layer (HFL) underlies two macular polarization phenomena, form birefringence (the macular cross) and dichroism (Haidinger's brushes), which ha…
