At night, light sources embedded in each rod will allow the whole structure to glow.

In all 17 species, the commonest kind of light receptors were "rod" cells, which are highly sensitive to light and allow night vision but cannot tell colors apart, they found.

在所有17种鲨鱼中，最常见的感光细胞是“杆状”细胞，这种细胞对光线非常敏感，可以使鲨鱼具有夜视能力，但这种细胞无法分辨颜色。

The team took electrical readings from single isolated retinal horizontal cells. They found that light caused a change in electrical current in cone horizontal cells but not in rod horizontal cells.

Once the light enters the ruby, its speed is slowed down to around the speed of sound (approximately 741mph) and the spinning motion of the rod drags the light with it, resulting in the image being rotated by almost five degrees: large enough to see with the naked eye.

Five years ago, Orvis introduced the original Helios, a light-yet-strong beauty, arguably its first great rod in many decades.

One hugely affective cue is auditory: Thanks to resonator tubes pumping intake and exhaust sounds into the cabin, the BRZ snarls and burrs and howls like a garage-built retro rod, even when it's accelerating away from a light like an ice-cream truck (0-60 mph in about 6 seconds).
