Using this rate of alternation, it is then a somewhat easier task to set the brightnesses of the two beams so that no flicker can be seen, and this then corresponds to equality of brightness. 1. An observer having a relative spectral sensitivity function that is the same as the V (l) function is known as the CIE standard photometric observer. ) The V (l) function is used in the same way as the V (l) function for evaluating the relative brightnesses of stimuli, but using the formula: L = Km (P1 V1 + P2 V2 + P3 V3 + .
Most cases of colour deficiency are hereditary, but progressive tritanomaly is also acquired with certain diseases. 11 COLOUR PSEUDO-STEREOPSIS When saturated red and blue lettering is viewed on a dark or black background, some observers perceive the red letters as standing out in front of the plane of the paper, and the blue letters lying behind it, even though the letters are all actually in the plane of the paper. However, although a majority of observers see this phenomenon, there is a minority for whom the reverse effect occurs, with the red letters receding and the blue letters advancing; and there is a third, and still smaller group, who see all the letters in the same plane as the paper.
