three receptors

Advirtiendo que los tres colores por entonces considerados primarios —rojo, amarillo y azul— podían mezclarse para generar casi cualquier color, propuso que bastaban solamente tres receptores para que el ojo pudiese percibir toda la gama de los colores: “Cada filamento sensible del nervio [óptico] puede estar formado por tres partes, una para cada color principal”. Imaginaba que la causa del daltonismo era la ausencia de uno de los tres conjuntos de receptores del color en el ojo.
Noting that the three colours then considered to be primaries – red, yellow and blue – could be mixed to generate almost any colour, he proposed that three receptors alone were enough to enable the eye to perceive a full range of colours: ‘Each sensitive filament of the [optic] nerve may consist of three portions, one for each principal colour.’ He imagined that colour blindness arises from the absence of one of the three sets of colour receptors in the eye.
