Descrição: Three different methods were used to determine the spectral sensitivity of retinula cells in the compound eyes of three species of hymenopteran insects (Apis mellifera, Melipona quadrifasciata, Osmia rufa ). The best results are obtained with the spectral scan method, which provides the experimenter with a S( lambda ) function of high spectral resolution within 20 s. Using this method the authors demonstrate that the high observed variability in S( lambda ) of individual receptors is the result of the inadequacy of the flash method, which was the only method used in earlier studies.
