Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The photochemical cycle of the visual pigment molecules in the blowfly Calliphora erythrocephala was investigated by transmission measurements, making use of the fact that intermediate states of the visual pigment molecules each have a characteristic absorption spectrum. It is shown that the conversion of metaxanthopsin (M 580) to the native xanthopsin state (P 490) induced by an orange-red light pulse proceeds through a newly discovered intermediate (N), which thermally decays with a time constant of about 13 ms at room temperature. The absorption spectrum of N peaks in the blue-green at about 490 nm. In the green and orange N absorbs more strongly than the native xanthopsin, but in the blue N and xanthopsin absorb almost equally. The latter finding explains why N has remained undetected in earlier studies. © 1989 Springer-Verlag.
